Among a list of characters from ‘Succession’ that are all flawed and pretty much terrible, there has to be at least one you’d have a drink with. Right?
Which Character From ‘Succession’ Would Make The Best Drinking Buddy
Having high hopes going into director Pablo Larrain’s “SPENCER” considering how much I enjoyed ‘Jackie‘, I was surprised to find myself truly wondering what it was that I was watching and then remembering the word ‘fable’ being brought out at the beginning. And that is at least somewhat of an explanation for this sad tale […]
REVIEW: “SPENCER” (2021) Neon Films
The story of a boy in the tumultuous Naples in 1980s. Sorrentino’s most personal film yet is a tale of fate and family, sports and cinema, love and loss.
I’ve always wondered why Black Friday had not been explored in a horror film. Director Casey Tebo and writer Andy Greskoviak finally give the much-deserved holiday-horror treatment to a day that almost looks like a horror movie in real life. Black Friday brings infected, gooey bodies to this familiar shopping holiday and manages to feel at…

Who Thought a “Nobody” Could Be So Great?
If someone said Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot were starring in a globetrotting heist comedy…you would probably be intrigued. It’s a film idea that has blockbuster written all over it. You’d have to work really hard for this film to be bad. Unfortunately, Netflix loves a challenge. The plot for Red Notice is […]
At no point does Succession suggest these characters are sociopathic, as unlikable as they are. What makes it so powerful is how vividly we see the emotional damage which this over-saturation of strategic conduct does to them. The points at which they want to reach out, to find comfort through closeness, only to realise they’re imprisoned by the logic of a situation in which they’re in a zero-sum competition for succession with those closest to them.
Succession and the hidden injuries of the neoliberal subject
A story become too familiar? After almost a century of Dracula narratives, whether they are adapted directly from the Bram Stoker novel or not, the character and his arc feels as familiar as a family heirloom, passed down the generations. This is part of why F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu” is the adaptation of the
story I come back to more often than any other- Murnau’s film feels like an oddity, like that weird uncle you don’t really want to talk about. And yet, it still has a place in the family, because the DNA remains constant.
Nosferatu: A Bold Vision of a Familiar Story

I have always been a huge fan of The Coen Brothers and a lot of that is due to my Dad who introduced Fargo, Oh Brother Where Art Thou and The Big Lebowski into our household. I always got excited when a new film of theirs was announced. Ethan Coen appears to have retired from […]
Can’t Stop What’s Comin: The Nature of Violence & Fate in No Country for Old Men
There doesn’t seem to be much love in the world for killer doll movie Dead Silence. The film-makers (Leigh Whannell, James Wan) went on to bigger and better things, and disowned this early effort as mangled by studio interference, but while the creative forces may not have been satisfied with the end product, Dead Silence […]

Yikes! One of the unexpected fallers in 2021’s race for the drastically reduced box-office prizes on offer was James Wan’s return to the horror territories that he’d previously made his own. After the promising Dead Silence, the Insidious and Conjuring movies made Wan a brand, even if both franchises fizzled out in terms of appeal. […]
