I worried I was having hearing problems a few years back. It turns out I was — but that’s not the reason I couldn’t hear dialogue. I especially noticed it during Game of Thrones. I had to turn the audio way up, in part because of the myriad accents actors had —and beca...

Last week, Vulture published an exposé on the practice of ‘buying’ positive reviews to inflate a film’s ratings on the movie review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes. In their investigation, they found that a PR firm called Bunker 15 ‘encouraged’ writers to review 2...

Nintendo fanboys like myself in general felt cautiously skeptic from the very first moment we heard someone was making a “Mario Movie”. After all and unlike book-readers, most gamers have no idea what a good adaptation of their beloved material looks like. Then the second trailer re...

I don’t know how to tell this story. He was a movie star. I was an intern. The musical is my favorite work of art. The producer was my mentor. The president of the theater is my friend. It was a real-life fairytale everyone I knew was entertained by. Yet I couldn’t sleep. I lost weight, ...

As I’m pretty sure you’ve heard, (and if you haven’t then where the hell have you been!) the Barbie movie has been one of the most highly anticipated and viewed films of 2023. Raking in a whopping 1.34 billion US dollars worldwide, this movie’s popularity has skyrocketed both...

Aliens is a modern classic, and one of the best sequels of all time. I believe that, truly. James Cameron took a deep space, isolated horror film in Alien and continued the story through the lens of heightened terror, tension and high-octane action. I love this movie. Aliens&nbs...

At an early point in Oppenheimer, the title character was shown struggling in a Cambridge University physics lab. One of his professors urged the young man to leave the lab and do theoretical work elsewhere, which he did in Germany. At a later point it was mentioned, I believe by Oppenh...
