The Last Days Of Emma Blank (De laatste dagen van Emma Blank) Netherlands (2009) Dir. Alex van Warmerdam Bosses seem to take the purview of employment to ludicrous levels in what they ask of their staff because “they are paying them” whilst acting as a law unto themselves, then can’t understand why they are not […]
The Last Days Of Emma Blank (De laatste dagen van Emma Blank)
The North Carolina Film Critics Association has announced their picks for the best of 2020 and, in something of a shock for anyone who has following the awards season up to this point, they did not give the best picture award to Nomadland. Instead, they honored Minari! And, to be honest, I couldn’t be more […]

7 New Netflix Shows in January 2021, and the Best Reasons to Watch
They called them “B-Movies:” genre films (westerns, noir, horror, sci-fi, etc.) made on shoestring budgets with leads played by actors, not stars; directors who were journeymen, not auteurs. The 1950s were their heyday, and they played great on a rainy Saturday afternoon. They looked disposable then but watching them now is like discovering a cultural […]
Thanks to my parents I watched my fair share of epic films growing up. The big three that we would watch at least once a year were Ben-Hur (1959), The Ten Commandments (1956) and Spartacus (1960). The latter is set out as a (very loose) retelling of the story of Spartacus (a real person by […]

The Woman Who Ran (2020): Başkalarının Hayatlarına Bakmak
We all have our guilty movie pleasures, and cheesy, ridiculous thrillers certainly check that box for many people. But while “Fatale,” a new thriller from director Deon Taylor and writer David Loughery (the pair who also helmed 2019’s “The Intruder”), does the bare minimum to hold the audience’s attention, it doesn’t commit to the genre […]
It seemed like it should have been the perfect vacation. Savannah (Claire van der Boom), her husband Brad (Todd Lasance), and their daughter Aria (Molly Wright) travel to an island resort off the coast of Australia. It’s the resort that Savannah used to vacation at when she was a child and this is a chance […]
Lifetime Film Review: Kidnapped in Paradise (dir by Vic Sarin)
It’s hard to keep track of all the TV shows available to us, but 2020 did treat us to some gems. This post won’t necessarily be highlighting shows released solely in 2020 but shows that caught my attention throughout the year. Here are the best TV shows I watched in 2020. The Boys (Season 2): […]

Every moment he felt that … he was drawing nearer and nearer to what terrified him. —Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilyich Ivan Beckman (Danny Huston) is one of those Hollywood agents that earn enough to afford a home in the hills, but not a palatial one. Parties enough to have a reputation, but not hard […]
As TCM’s Women Make Film series winds to a close this Wednesday, it seemed fitting to revisit a conversation I had with Colorado native, now Los Angeles-based, filmmaker Sarah Adina Smith. We chatted back in 2015, when her debut feature, The Midnight Swim, played Boulder’s Boedecker Theater. Smith has since directed Buster’s Mal Heart and a handful of […]
Anthony (Jamie Dornan) likes flowers. He also likes Rosemary (Emily Blunt) but has a hard time telling her so. He has a hard time telling her about the flowers, too. There’s a lot that Anthony and Rosemary don’t say—to each other, to themselves—that’s painfully obvious to anyone within eyesight. Not that they’re ever very far […]
Natalie was an architect who hated PG-13 romantic comedies. Along with her low self-esteem prevented her from meeting her someone special. So despite her best friend telling her that her work buddy had a crush on her, she doubted it. One day, she was mugged at the subway station and woke […]
Movie Review: Isn’t It Romantic?
The Crawleys go to Duneagle Castle to celebrate Christmas with the MacClares. Unfortunately, when the Crawleys return, tragedy strikes.

Watching this show back again after seeing the original run feels […]
