She Has The Right Style, For Me

In what fantasy did I see her first? Walking back from class, I was drawn to the forming crowd. I heard her before I saw her. Emblematic of our relationship. On a small platform atop a hill, with her curled hair and red blouse, she tried to convert the whole student body to her way of thinking. The crowd heckled her, telling her to go back to Moscow, but she was steadfast and sure in her beliefs.

‘Materialists’ and the Woes of True Love in the Age of Data

“You won’t, when you love someone. It’ll be easy. No math.” In the latter part of Materialists, professional matchmaker Lucy finally resolves to break up with a wealthy “unicorn” (defined as a highly desirable, high-quality man, who’s an “impossible fantasy”) named Harry, admitting that their industry—framed by algorithms and big data—ultimately fails to deliver true love. Harry, who’s grabbing a

“Amazing Amy & Perfect Patrick: Gone Girl Meets American Psycho” -  Written by Amy Dunne-Bateman

Readers, let me tell you a little story. By now, I assume you all know me. Yes - Amazing Amy. The muse for that beloved children’s book series / The girl who survived that horrendous kidnapping ordeal / The wife who reunited with her cheating husband, Nick, the man she once thought was her soul mate. Spoiler: he wasn’t. My parents blamed the stress of my ordeal, but if kidnapping doesn’t bring you
mind.full.of.movies: This is incredible! The way you managed to bring Amy Dunne's voice to the page is so well done, it felt like I was reading the novel again. Also, this is a match made in heaven! They'd make the craziest duo– at the very least, Amy might help make Patrick grow a flair for the poetic when it comes to his murders.

Finding Wes Anderson's Missing Key

Next Friday, we will receive Wes Anderson's 13th feature, The Phoenician Scheme. Watching the trailer, I noticed Anderson's increasingly absurd style and a plot that is anything but based in reality. I've never felt less excited about one of his movies. Am I the only one who feels like the director is in a rut? Yes, his movies are stylistically unique — a type of style that can only come from Ande
cinejanie: You hit the nail on the head. I’m also getting a bit tired of Wes Anderson’s increasingly rigid style.

On Karate Kid Legends and the Simulacrum of Honor

At some point during Karate Kid Legends, right after Jackie Chan channels grief through a steaming teacup and just before the film turns into a TikTok AMV with kung fu, I realized something. I wasn’t watching a movie—I was watching a product. A legacy-branded content block wrapped in nostalgia gauze and corporate aspirations, a Sony-flavored parfait of identity politics, moralism, and IP reclamati

Why We Can't Let Glengarry Glen Ross Go

When I read that there was a Broadway revival of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross starring Kieran Culkin, Bill Burr and Bob Odenkirk opening this month, I was ready to book a seat on the next flight to New York. Then I saw that tickets to the sold-out show were reselling for up to $1,000 each. That's when I closed my 32 Chrome tabs and decided that it was more economical to rewatch the 1992 movie

My Leading Lady Bird

Who will dance with her? She hates to be alone. That's smart, really. Being alone leads to loneliness. She's not going to meditate until she finds her inner light. I know that it doesn't exist, but I can't speak for her. I may have seen the movie, but that wasn't her end. A lady's senior high school year is formative, but not conclusive. Although my experiences differed from hers, the currents of

SEINFELD and the Myth of "Making It" in New York

New York has long been romanticized as the city where dreams come true—the place where, if you can make it, you can make it anywhere. But Seinfeld (1989-1998), created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, does something revolutionary: it quietly dismantles that idea. Instead of presenting New York as a place of success and transformation, the show portrays a version of the city where most people sim

What I Learned From Spike Lee's Student Film

I've always thought that, to be great at anything, I must be a student of the game. Sometimes, my studies can lead me into obscure territories. As a passionate cinephile that dreams of one day making a movie, I always want to learn cheap tricks that can help my no-budget movies look as good as possible. As such, I sometimes study the student films of filmmakers I admire. These little-known picture
