A God Dies in Reverse: How Marty Anderson Taught the Apocalypse and Stole The Life of Chuck

Some characters steal scenes. Marty Anderson stole the entire cosmos. You walk into The Life of Chuck expecting Tom Hiddleston. The trailers promised charm, dance, and emotional poignancy dressed in quirky trailer polish. Instead, the world ends with a monologue. A classroom. A chalkboard. A teacher. And Chiwetel Ejiofor, in one of the most disarmingly harrowing performances of the year, detonates the narrative in the opening act by doing something quietly catastrophic: he explains the universe.

Sing Sing Gave Me Flashbacks To High School

After watching Sing Sing, I realized that high school really was a prison. Wake up, go to school, do my homework, eat dinner while my parents argue, go to bed, and wake up to do it all over again. It was not so different from the lives of Divine G (Colman Domingo), Divine Eye (Divine Eye), and the rest of the Sing Sing prisoners. And just like those inmates, I needed an outlet to free my mind from my stifling surroundings. As Divine Eye was focused on keeping his rep in the yard, so too was I fo

Caribbean Currents: Two Standout Films from Florida and Puerto Rico

Recently, I had the pleasure of watching two new Caribbean films that premiered at major North American film festivals; they have since drawn considerable attention. One is River of Grass, a Florida-based documentary that won the Jury Prize-International Feature Documentary at Toronto’s Hot Docs. The other is This Island, a Puerto Rican drama that made its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. River of Grass is a lyrical ode to director Sasha Wortzel’s hometown, approached with a non-r

Sinners — The Best Film of 2025, so far

In 2013, Ryan Coogler debuted with his first film, Fruitvale Station, an acclaimed independent movie about the struggles of a young African-American citizen, based on real-life events. In the next 12 years, he's directed 4 movies, like Black Panther and Creed, always working alongside Michael B. Jordan to tell stories about the African-American community. Now, after 3 years since his last feature (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), he's delivered a new original film. Only this time, he might have

Beyond the Oscars: The Unspoken Layers of Crash vs. Brokeback Mountain

The 2006 Academy Awards brought us one of the most debated and controversial wins in recent history: Crash over Brokeback Mountain for Best Picture. On the surface, this might seem like a minor decision, but a deeper look into both films raises serious questions about the nature of awards, the politics of representation, and the power of social cinema. While Brokeback Mountain is lauded for its courage and the breaking of societal taboos regarding LGBTQ+ narratives, Crash offers something far mo

Hit Man: The Coolest Undercover Comedy You Can't Miss!

This movie is like a sugar-free, zero-calorie cola on a summer day: satisfying without being overindulgent. The film is light-hearted and tells the story of a man pretending to be a hitman. Similar to the style of "Fargo," it carries the Coen brothers' flair, depicting how an ordinary person's decision to change their life leads to a series of uncontrollable events. Director Richard Linklater emphasizes the characters' ordinariness to highlight the absurdity, placing an everyday teacher in an un

Arcane: Find your Fate

Everything happens for a reason. How often have people reading this article and I heard those words? When you're younger, these words can sound incredibly magical, like your life is the plot of some great story. When you’re older, you stop believing it, though the phrase can feel like an inescapable cage. Like everyone else, there was a time in my life when I felt lost, and the future seemed bleak. Arcane is a show that blends the idea in both positive and negative ways, just as perfectly as it

Easter Eggs In Blade Runner 2049 You Completely Missed

Classic Opening Blade Runner 2049 opens with white subtitles, with the keywords Replicant and Blade Runner highlighted in red. This is followed by a high-altitude view and a close-up of the eye, elements highly consistent with Blade Runner's opening 35 years ago. Another work by the previous film's director, Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, also opens with a shot of the android David's eyes, suggesting a connection between Blade Runner and Alien.

Is The Social Network Still Relevant?

It’s impossible to talk about a biopic of a fallen neo-liberal idealist without looking at the social and economic landscape of Silicon Valley at the time. In the mid-'90s, during the dot-com boom, tech startups thrived under the belief that technology would liberate society—a movement known as the Californian ideology. This new wave of laid-back innovators, rejecting traditional corporate culture, saw themselves as the future, using tech to challenge big business while also seeking elite status

matsuhara_puru: I think the way Mark Zuckerberg is portrayed in The Social Network shouldn’t be mixed up with the real-life Mark Zuckerberg. I totally agree with how you interpreted the character in the film, but I also understand why people are so critical of the real Zuckerberg especially after he announced the conservative shift for himself and Meta’s platforms. It’s easy for people’s feelings about the real person to influence how they see the character. I loved your article! I rewatched The Social Network twice recently, and I feel like Jesse Eisenberg’s performance made the character even more fascinating :)

Greta Gerwig: an intellect with the heart of a young maiden

Greta Gerwig is the kind of film director loved by both the general crowd as well as intellectuals. Gerwig, much like directors Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola and Francois Ozon, possesses a natural ability to take into consideration both business and art; she always finds an appropriate point of balance between basic commercial demands and self-expression in her films. of proportion. On top of that, she has one great advantage: her firm but non-extreme feminist stance. Where she comes from compleme

Squid Game: A tale of two seasons

The first season of Squid Game was electrifying; it kept you on the edge of your seat, wondering what would happen next. My family and I watched Squid Game together, and we couldn’t stop talking about it. Finding things to bond over with your family can be tough, which is why we were so excited for season 2. We gathered in the living room and practically watched the entire thing in two days. While watching, we could already feel that it didn’t have the same impact as the first season. However, w

(Before getting into this, I want to say to everyone struggling with whatever you are dealing with, people care about you and want to help. If you don’t have anybody now, it doesn't mean you won’t later.) Have you ever felt like the world completely turned against you? That some people were actively trying to keep you in a terrible position, and it felt like there was absolutely nothing you could do?

When we talk about the "Arctic"

If we were in the Arctic and saw a flower growing from a crevice in a rock, how would we react? This idea reminds me of the book of poetry "My Solitude is a Garden" by Adonis, the Syrian poet who has experienced much suffering. Humans are a species that crave communication, and most of us loathe solitude. There have been many successful films that depict stories of loneliness throughout the history of cinema, and I often wonder why this is. The answer could be various: stories about loneliness a

The Hidden Animal Archetypes of The White Lotus

Let´s dive deep Into the Animalistic Psyche Behind Every Character This season, set in Thailand, has leaned hard into animal motifs and I mean hard!; Monkeys, snakes, birds, lizards, and more. Thailand’s lush landscape has become a metaphorical zoo for the souls of these characters, each one struggling with their own privileged way to transcend or give in to their basest instincts. Every main character this season embodies a spirit animal. Creatures that reflect the duality of their personalitie

Packed with satire, social commentary and nods to classical films, this A24 Horror-Comedy give us a lot to examine. Stay with me as I break down its influences and uncover the hidden winks

Ishika Banerjee: I find the portrayal of capitalism in movies now to be incredibly hollow and hypocritical. Like wow, a multimillion-dollar movie is criticizing capitalism and class issues? I find these producers/directors need to get some self-awareness because they're not any better than the people they're making films about. Thanks for sharing!

The Monkey Theory: How The White Lotus Explores Our Primal Nature

HBO’s The White Lotus returns with its highly anticipated third season, this time transporting us to the lush, spiritual, and chaotic landscapes of Thailand. But beneath the opulent luxury of yet another White Lotus resort, there is something deeper at play—a return to the primal. This season, the series doesn't just expose human hypocrisy and power struggles; it drags us into the jungle of the mind, where the "Monkey Theory" takes center stage. Hear me out!….

Justice for Burt Fabelman: Mitzi Missed Out

A little over two years ago, I was driving to work around 8:30 am on a snowy January day in Canada. I knew that the nominations for the 95th Academy Awards were being announced, but since I was driving, I couldn’t watch the livestream. I tuned into the car radio. My face fell when the host read the names for Best Supporting Actor- no Paul Dano. At the time, The Fabelmans was my favourite movie of 2022. (I hadn’t seen Aftersun yet.
