January is always an exciting time for film fans. Not necessarily because of what theatres might currently be offering (shoutout Dumpuary), but because there’s a whole year of films ahead, and we haven’t yet been disillusioned by weeks of cinematic drought. So, I thought it would be nice to revel in this anticipatory period for a little while and outline some of the films that I’m most looking for

Listen, I get it, you're probably scoffing at the fact that I'm claiming a stoner comedy, replete with raunchy dick and fart jokes could be considered the best movie of the 21st Century, but hear me out… Sure it didn't win any Oscars, Golden Globes, or other major film awards for that matter, but what “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle” did emotionally for both Indian and Asian kids during the ear

Political activist Fannie Lou Hamer said, “Sometimes it seems like to tell the truth today is to run the risk of being killed. But if I fall, I'll fall five feet four inches forward in the fight for freedom. I'm not backing off.” It’s this kind of tenacity that changes the course of history. Films exist to bear witness and preserve our collective memory where politics and power would prefer we for

Shifting refers to the belief - particularly widespread among young adults - that consciousness can move to other realities, whether alternative worlds or fictional universes, and experience them as if they were real. Jessica Herrelson was a successful actress. She was the new face of many equally successful brands. Any film or series she took part in ended up winning awards. People loved her. She

Many stories begin in a place where reality has failed to meet our expectations. Nothing is more satisfying to the human mind than an alternative ending – one where good prevails and justice is restored. From time to time, everyone needs a fairy tale that dares to sell a dream. Storytelling itself is a form of resistance. When you are placed in a small box filled with suffering, you pick up a piec

After growing up and now being in your 20s it has been rare to see a precise representation of the journey you have taken. While yes there have been many teenage surrounding films, none of them have felt entirely accurate. They tend to be over dramatized or too cheesy in what characters do. There have not been enough films, or television shows, that showcase the actuality of the coming-of-age. The

Adolescence is a brilliant display of the dangers of this bizarre wave of gender ideology that is swarming the internet. The Red Pill. This article will be a praise to the series, sure, but also a slight critique, since as a teacher I have seen how this mentality is affecting young people (specially men) and how dangerous this can be. The series opens with an operative breaking into a house, a sce

For a very long time, Hollywood was described, showcased and everything in between as the biggest juggernaut in the world. Even other countries like Europe or Bollywood were afraid. It is where the best movies are made, where all the greatest movie stars lived and where is the backlot for many movies and tv shows. But in recent times, the camera has evolved and taken a step further into the world

Dearest Gentle Reader, As yet another season waltzes in with its diamond-encrusted heel and rosy-lipped smiles, a question hovers heavily amidst the glamour of high society: will the lingering jewelled emerald courtship of the last season of Bridgerton continue to disenchant us? Or, perhaps, it is time to dust off our chagrin and start anew. It can be spoken with great certainty that the spectacle

I want to share some more experiences here. Remember what I told you in the last story? Everything starts from there. After I fled Los Angeles, I returned to the East Coast, finished one more year of school, and graduated smoothly. But the job drought stayed the same—finding work was still mission impossible. I landed a few interviews and even flew to Hollywood to show my face, yet, as expected, I

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

The year is 2005. Avril Lavigne's album ‘Under My Skin’ holds a permanent space in my CD Walkman. Like every other Friday night, I walked down the street to the corner store that also had a small DVD rental section—my mom let me rent 1 movie a week, as long as I returned it on time. Glowing on the new arrivals rack like it was backlit by Jesus himself was DVD of the movie D.E.B.S. As a nine year o

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
