'The Brutalist' (on 70mm film!)

Jan 29 2025 36 mins

'Wicked'

Dec 18 2024 30 mins

Adapting a beloved Brodway musical is a road fraught with danger. Just ask Dear Evan Hansen. From box-office receipts alone (more than a half-billion dollars worldwide as of this writing), we know Wicked managed to avoid any sleep-inducing poppies and flying monkeys waiting for it on the path to success. But movie executives and movie audiences have very different definitions of �

Even before the casting was announced, we knew the success or failure of this film would hinge on the performance of the actor at its center.

'Heretic'

Nov 20 2024 21 mins

Movie studio A24 gets a lot of credit for injecting new life into the horror genre. Talk to Me, Midsommar, The Witch, Hereditary — whoever’s making the decisions over there seems to have their finger firmly on the pulse of what notoriously passionate (and opinionated) fans of the genre are looking for.Most recently, their loving gaze has fallen on Heretic and the familiar face

Nov 13 2024 19 mins

When the worlds of music and movies intersect, we tend to think about concert films — gigantic spectacles glamorizing the wonderful side of fame, like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé or Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour.On some level, we know that we don’t really know these artists. Yet it’s still jarring every time we get a glimpse at their actual
