Late Review: 'Samurai Champloo'
Anime, anime, anime. Some people can't get enough of it. Some people don't understand it. Whatever your stance on anime is, any fan of film and television can tell you that anime has some way found its way into their television screens at some point.

Late Reviews: 'Drive'
What drives a story? Puns asides, people find different stories compelling. Some prefer the drama that unfolds in lavish period pieces, while others prefer the anxiety of a horror story. The viewers ask questions left and right: will the hero/heroine escape with their lives? Will they end up with the love of their life? Who's on their side? Who or what stands in their way?

Late Review: 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'
What is so special about the teenage years? Is it the confrontation with real emotions like love, anxiety, and depression? Is it that people commonly build the relationships and friendships that will last the rest of their lifetime during this time period? Is it the fact that we find ourselves and discover what we really have a passion for?

Late Review: 'Swimming'
"My regrets look just like texts I shouldn't send." From the very first line that comes out to the last beat you hear, Mac Miller commands your attention on 2018's album Swimming. With a mix of jazz-inspired beats and modern-day production, Mac Miller raps about his struggles with self-love (along with self-respect), his battle with drugs, relationships (both old and new), and his place in the world around him.

Late Review: My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless'
Would you listen to a music genre called "shoe-gazing?" Aside from the peculiar name, shoe-gazing can be described as an off-brand, British version of indie rock and alternative rock that emerged in the 1980s. Pioneering the sound, My Bloody Valentine's music projects provided musicians and artists templates to start from, reaching peak critical success with the album Loveless, released in 1991.

Late Review: 'The Fury of a Patient Man'
International cinema can be a hit or miss with movie-goers. It can entice an audience into experiencing a new story from a different perspective. It can also be off-putting to an audience by hitting them with a language barrier or present them with unfamiliar material.

Late Review: 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer'
What does every unique film have in common? This sounds like a trick question, or the beginning of a boring riddle even, but there is something in each film that makes its own. It can be the acting, the writing, or any of the production and post-production that takes a massive grip on the film and never lets go.
