Robert Eggers' 'Nosferatu' Is a Dark and Delicious Feast

Jason Adams — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 16:30:00 -0500

Women just wanting to live deliciously have always had a hard time of it. Look no further than this year's U.S. election if you need proof of that. And apologies for bringing that up, and why would you need to...

Review: ‘Moana 2’ Isn’t Very Good But That Hardly Matters to Disney

Kayleigh Donaldson — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 15:30:00 -0500

Moana 2 was never supposed to exist. The follow-up to the beloved 2016 Oscar-nominated animated film was meant to be a long-form miniseries exclusive to Disney+. That seemed like a great idea, a strong format that would allow the intrepid...

The Prodigal Daughter Returns: Spend The Holidays with Lindsay Lohan on Netflix

Jen Maravegias — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 14:45:54 -0500

I didn't think I missed Lindsay Lohan until I forced myself to watch the two Netflix movies she released this year. Watching Irish Wish and Our Little Secret, I realized what we lost when she went to ground after her...

In 'Lioness,' Taylor Sheridan Uses Morgan Freeman To Lambast Both Sides

Dustin Rowles — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 14:00:00 -0500

The second season of Taylor Sheridan's Lioness improves on the first (not a high bar), but it's still mostly a chaotic mix of action sequences interspersed with Sheridan's signature moralizing. The action is competent, Zoe Saldaña is great, but Sheridan...

Review: In 'Small Things Like These,' Cillian Murphy Crafts a Compelling Portrait of a Good Man in Crisis

Melanie Fischer — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 13:15:43 -0500

No one does crisis quite like Cillian Murphy. Maybe it's the blue eyes, or the jawline that flares with tension so well. There are few actors working today who have demonstrated such range throughout their career while maintaining such consistent...

Did Margot Robbie Kiss Leonardo DiCaprio During Her 'Wolf Of Wall Street' Audition Or Slap Him?

Andrew Sanford — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 12:30:00 -0500

Auditioning is an insane aspect of acting. Performers can spend decades honing and perfecting their craft. They deliver nuanced, thorough performances over hours or weeks, depending on the medium. Then, depending on their level of fame or success, they have...

The Dictionary People Permit You To Rot Your Brain

Emma Chance — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 11:45:00 -0500

By now you know, dear reader, that more often than not I pen these missives from my couch first thing in the morning while drinking my coffee, with whatever was on Bravo last night playing on the television in the...

Outrage for Profit and the Rise of Blue Anon

Dustin Rowles — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 11:00:00 -0500

There are actions detailed in the Mueller Report -- released in 2019 -- that would have justified the impeachment of any President before 2016. The real issue between 2016 and 2019 wasn't just that the illicit activities outlined in the...

Daniel Craig Is Right About The 'Laughable' Masculinity Of Bond

Andrew Sanford — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 10:15:00 -0500

I am the father to twin boys who are almost four years old. They are boys (until they tell me otherwise) as a label, but we like to make sure that doesn't dominate their personalities. Everything doesn't have to be...

Box Office Report: You're Welcome

Kayleigh Donaldson — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 09:30:00 -0500

Nobody is surprised that Moana 2 did amazingly this past weekend. There's a reason no other studio decided to compete with Disney in this slot. Even though this was never intended to be a movie sequel and reviews reflect that,...
