Grease is the Word... For Summer

If there's one movie that's synonymous with summer for me, it's Grease. Play me ;) All it takes is the blaring opening notes of my favourite Frankie Valli song, and I'm transported back in time. I can smell hotdogs mixed with campfire smoke. I can hear crickets and the rustling of tall grass. I can feel the burrs stuck to my shirtsleeves and the scratches on my arms from the blackberry bushes. I can even see the stars glimmering overhead in the pitch dark sky. Every time I watch Grease now, I fe

Everything Wrong With Squid Game Season 3

Director Hwang probably lost as many teeth writing Squid Game Season 3 as I did grinding mine watching it. You’ve got favourite characters dying every five minutes, English actors with the emotional range of a YouTube apology video, and CGI babies so cursed they look like they were rendered in a microwave. Season 3 definitely left an impression, just not one you’d want to remember. So let’s talk about it. Back in 2021, Squid Game was electric. The show worked because it was bold. It waited a ful

Sinners: The Fear about "Living Forever"

Many critics focus on the political metaphors in Sinners, but I believe this perspective misses the film's essence. Sinners uses vampires as its main narrative backdrop—and for beings with lifespans of thousands of years, fleeting human politics cannot profoundly impact their existence. In other words, vampires don't concern themselves with human political affairs. When they encounter human forces they dislike, they can simply take a long sleep and wake up to a new world. In Sinners, director Ry

A Warning To All Parents

Adolescence is a brilliant display of the dangers of this bizarre wave of gender ideology that is swarming the internet. The Red Pill. This article will be a praise to the series, sure, but also a slight critique, since as a teacher I have seen how this mentality is affecting young people (specially men) and how dangerous this can be. The series opens with an operative breaking into a house, a scene we've seen a lot, and we expect a gang or a bulky delinquent to be the one they're looking for, b

Beautiful People-- Comedically Suffering-- Karmically-Caused-- For "Two Weeks-- In Bruges-- Wichu?"

As another fantastic season of Mike White's The White Lotus (his third) comes to a blistering close-- I'm once again reminded of a particularly niche-in-specificity-- cinematic-subset-genre that I often find myself largely hankering for, drawing towards and returning back to. That of which I like to call-- "Beautiful People Being Utterly Miserable, While Totally Trapped In Paradise, & Comically Stuck On Vacation." What should ostensibly be a totally fun time in the sun-- usually instead tends to

Conclave (2024) is a better Mean Girls Remake than the Mean Girls Remake

After the death of Pope Francis, I suddenly became intrigued by the movie Conclave. I had seen it featured in the Oscars, but honestly, the Oscars barely give you any impression of what the nominated movies are even about. All I knew was it was a gothic-looking movie about priests. But oh-ho? I kept seeing posts of people comparing this serious-looking movie to Mean Girls and RuPaul's Drag Race, of all things. ‘How can this be true?’ I asked, scratching my ill-informed head. From an outside view

JamieL: Girl, I absolutely love your humor and insight! As you compared in your article, the way power and scheming operate in these two films is remarkably similar, yet many people don't consider Mean Girls to be on par with Conclave in terms of seriousness and artistic merit. Why is that? 😉

Robert Bresson: The Aristocrat of the Left and the Existentialist

I. Bresson is, in a sense, like an ascetic monk. His films always exude an aura of abstinence. From this perspective, he shares similarities with Bergman. Neither of their films show any smiles, yet they never amplify any sorrowful emotions either. Their films are like winter days—dry, desolate, and cold.Compared to Bergman's metaphysical concerns, Bresson possesses the temperament of a leftist creator. He clearly focuses on issues of social justice. His two masterpieces, Pickpocket and L'Argent

Summer Movie Memories (2021-2006)

2021 It’s my first real return to theaters after the lockdown, and I am extraordinarily grateful to be at the movies with some treasured friends. During the trailers, I observe moviegoers taking their masks off to eat snacks. Most don’t put them back on, and I don’t really blame them. This is a small source of anxiety in the much larger, oppressive anxiety of the COVID-era. One that, as of this writing, I don’t think we ever left. I find distraction and comfort in the pulpy thrills of M. Night S
