Marty Supreme is the first solo written and directed film from Josh Safdie, formerly one of half of the Safdie Brothers who directed and wrote Uncut Gems and Good Time. If you’ve seen these movies, you understand these are stressful crime thrillers with frantic action, dialogue that interrupts other characters, and a general uneasiness persisting throughout the entire thing. I’ve never been more s

Okay, I need to get my thoughts out here before Jan 7th hits because I think a vast majority of us are going to be majorly disappointed. Here's the thing, I LOVE narratives like Stranger Things. It took a DnD game and turned it into this sci-fi fantasy, over the top, 80s nostalgic craze that was so much fun disappearing into. I loved how it began, and to be honest, the second and third seasons wor

How do I even start to write about something that's taken over all the free space in my brain? Why don't we just start at the beginning? I was mindlessly scrolling TikTok in bed and a video came up talking about a new Crave show that was adapting a gay hockey romance book called Heated Rivalry. I was like ok, cool. That's nice, maybe I'll check it out when it drops. Life went on and I eventually f

I am the person that unapologetically recommends films. Whether you are my best friend, my mom, or someone I just met, you WILL be getting film recommendations from me. I think the films that most people watch are awful, not worth anyone’s time, disgusting, boring, propaganda, etc. So, obviously, I am going to recommend films I deem good. This year, the film I recommended most, without a single do

I think the earliest memory I have of crashing out was in 11th grade. I did the International Baccalaureate, and for any of you approval-seeking clowns who also did it, I’m very sorry for your trauma. The program was a two-year intensive course which included six different classes, a 4,000-word essay, a couple of dozen final exams, and your will to live. It didn’t help that I was also attending on

The internet really pisses me off sometimes. Watching season two of The Last of Us week by week has definitely been an experience. I've never played the video games that the show is based on, so everything that happened in the first three episodes has been a complete surprise. I would suggest that you keep it that way if you can. There will be spoilers here, but not just yet. I have some stuff I n

What combination would take down any criminal, villain or ne'er-do-well? For me, it’s the combination of an alien with godlike power that’s known across a large portion of the (DC) universe and some random bald guy in a yellow costume. Superman and Saitama (One Punch Man, in case you didn’t know) are some of the most powerful heroes in fiction. They each have the ability to destroy planets but con

I’ve found that most articles for this challenge are based on action films led by brave, intelligent characters with extraordinary physical and combat skills, risking their lives in dangerous situations—often for a greater good. But I’d like to focus on the other side of the spectrum: the quiet ones. The ones who choose solitude. The ones who notice everything and feel even more. The Perks of Bein

When reflecting on why my ex-girlfriend and I broke up, I realize that our differing attitudes toward The Cove—a documentary about environmentalism and human behavior—might have offered a glimpse into our deeper issues. First, let me say this: The Cove is a powerful documentary and I love it. I deeply admire the courage of its creators. But I feel that the film relies a bit too heavily on emotiona

We all have that guilty pleasure in our cinematic tastes, that one title we’d rather not admit to in front of discerning cinephile friends. For me, that guilty pleasure is What Women Want. Yes, the 2000 romantic comedy directed by Nancy Meyers, starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. And before anyone judges me, let me explain how a man raised on explosions, car chases, and epic one-liners from Lethal

Reflecting on my 2024 movie-going experience, I have discovered a fascinating connection between two new films. One is Foreign Tongue(original: Langue Étrangère), the latest work by French filmmaker Claire Burger, a French-German co-production that was selected for the Berlinale Competition this year. The other is Happyend, the impressive narrative debut feature by Japanese-American director Neo S
