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

I went to see The Housemaid for the same two reasons that every other man went to see The Housemaid. I was skeptical, at first, as I waited for the steamy scenes to fog up my glasses. However, instead of the erotic romp that I expected, what I received was a somber warning, an alarm bell, regarding men's roles in today's society and why women are society's saving grace. After having a series of ve

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 vividly remember the first time that someone told me a story I had written made them cry. It was one of my dearest friends from high school. His mother passed away from cancer when he was just a teenager, and throughout the entire time I've known him—even up to today—, you can almost see the grief of that loss permeating his every action, like a dark veil he carries around everywhere he goes. Th

Who hasn't been the Grinch at some point during Christmas? It happened to me, and not by choice, but due to circumstances beyond my control. We had to leave right at Christmas, not to visit distant relatives, but because of financial hardship and the need to find a new life in another country, far away, where the cold chills even your memories. I remember standing in the hallway of that apartment

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

As another fantastic season of Mike White's The White Lotus (his third) comes to a blistering close-- I'm once again reminded of a particularly niche-in-specificity-- cinematic-subset-genre that I often find myself largely hankering for, drawing towards and returning back to. That of which I like to call-- "Beautiful People Being Utterly Miserable, While Totally Trapped In Paradise, & Comically St

I'm calling it. I cannot afford being a Taylor Swift fan anymore. I mean, I'm a little bummed because she's garnered the reputation of creating spectacles for her three-hour long shows, but I don't think I have the capacity to mortgage my house just to attend one of her concerts. I barely have the capacity to purchase a subscription to Disney+ just to watch her new docuseries titled The End of an

… You end up in a conversation somehow (lucky you!), and discover you both like movies. You, a man at least ten years her senior who is for some reason interested in this university student, how do you catch her interest? Did you say you would recommend the movie Perfume : The Story of a Murderer? No? Well good job, you’re not deranged! What a pity that some people don’t have the same basic common

Sometimes miracles happen in cinema. Incredibly stupid ideas give birth to formidably entertaining films. How this happens is a mystery, but it's probably due to a combo of a great cast, a good director and a smart script that keeps the pacing devilishly (!) fast and doesn't have the luxury of questioning the credibility of the horrible underlying idea of the whole story. How Universal Pictures gr

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
