Like this franchise, GWAR is not for everyone. So I don't blame the negative reviews at all. I love GWAR. I love it when V/H/S/ gets crazy. So I had fun watching this year's anthology. Dance, Dance, D...

Nothing evokes the same childhood spookiness and hazy memories as these VHS mixtapes. Keep doing these, Bleeding Skull.

This film is as beautiful as it looks because it reminded me that coincidences can be magical.

The maximalist style transported me back to 2006, when the TV at home was an old CRT with a screen that looked exactly like that. But the cinematography is not all. This film also explores all the iss...

Austin Abrams, it's like playing Resident Evil for the first time. Dumb, clueless, but fun to watch.

I like how Joseph took his experience directing Beyoncé's pop magnum opus, Lemonade, and made an afrofuturistic version of W.E.B. Du Bois's Song of Black Folk.

See my review of Harlan County U.S.A. for my same thoughts about Barbara Kopple's similar film about the Hormel meatpacking plant in Austin, MN. Here, nobody is getting shot; instead, the violence com...

ALT: Tim Curry's Dr. Frank-N-Furter Iconic Smirk

Louise Weard's transgressive postmodern film anthology is one to be studied and deconstructed, and I'm saying it in the best way possible. As I said in my review of the first, it's raw and unfiltered....

Many biopics fail to understand what Matt Johnson knew: a slice of life is better than rushing through the entire life in two hours.

MLA Student Norberto Santiago Reflects on Critical Theory and the Liberal Arts (2/2)

Jane Schoenbrun can be self-indulgent all they want. This is just another deeply personal and beautiful film full of allegories to gender identity and sexuality. The conservative 80s slasher horror is...
