“Hamnet” review: shakespeare in loss

By Conor Moore | Staff Writer After the eternal misfire that was, well, “Eternals”, Chloe Zhao proves she is quite capable of achieving the visual magnetism required to be an Oscar-winning, “it” director. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of what can only be described as cinematic fondant. While “Hamnet” is superficially moving and relishes […]

“The Crow” Remake Alternates Between Uninspired Schlock and Narrative Desecration

Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer Regarding rancid studio-driven “reimaginings,” few feelings come close to the high one gets as they let loose a proverbial pit bull to add to the dogpiling.  And while I’m not someone who particularly fancies beating a dead horse, this one is personal.  Especially knowing director Rupert Sanders—a man with a […]

“Incredibles 2” exactly what fans needed

Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer   Fourteen years since it’s release, “The Incredibles” has become an animation classic and a high-point of nostalgia for many of my generation.

Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer   When Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the “Jackass” crew hit television screens back in 2000, rebellious youngsters saw before them a style of comedy that would redefine comedy of the early 21st century. The style was undoubtedly titled after its own, and involved seemingly ordinary situations that turned into crude […]

“The Happytime Murders” trailer is a sad attempt at post-South Park humor

George Ibarra/Contributing Writer   Rarely do audiences get to experience a film that’s escaped from development hell. Unfortunately, despite over a decade of waiting on Brian Henson’s dark comedy spin on a murder-mystery set in a puppet filled world, the new trailer for “The Happytime Murders” doesn’t sell a great image for a movie with […]

The explicitly average but entertaining “Don Jon”

Juan Barquin   If there’s one thing to say for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, it’s that the guy knows exactly what “bro culture” is like. This knowledge of bros who move through life doing nothing but working out and having sex serves him well, but even with that, “Don Jon” isn’t as great a film as he […]
