'Universal Soldier' Sparks Teenage Film Critic Nostalgia
Why write about something as silly and seemingly random as Universal Soldier? It goes back to being a teenager who fell in love with the movies while on an adventure with friends. When I was 16 years old on a June day in 1992, myself and three friends decided to see a movie. We intended only to see Batman Returns, the sequel to 1989’s blockbuster Batman starring Michael Keaton. Once we saw that film however, we hatched a sneaky idea.

Classic Movie Review: 'A Little Princess'
A Little Princess was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett in 1905 as an expansion on a series of novellas Burnett had written for St. Nicholas Magazine. The movie industry found A Little Princess for the first time in 1917 as a silent picture starring Mary Pickford in the role of Sara Crewe and Zasu Pitts as her friend Becky. Most notably, the silent A Little Princess featured a screenplay by Frances Marion, one of the first women to write for the movies.

Movie Theater Etiquette
The cinema. It just means more. Whether it be at your local AMC at the mall, or maybe an underground “old school” drive in, or maybe a ritzy theater that serves a full course meal with your film, the theater just means more. There is just an element of “going to the movies” that simply cannot be replaced with the numerous options available to us via the tsunami of 2022 streaming.

WTF, Top Gun?
The 36 years between Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick isn't the longest gap separating a film from its sequel--that record is held by Bambi (1942), which waited 64 years for a follow-up, making Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest (2006) the first movie sequel to bomb at the box office yet still qualify for Medicare. But it does offer further evidence, as if any were needed these days, that those who fail to learn from history are forced to repeat it. Like a verp.

TOP 10 WOODY ALLEN MOVIES
Last winter, I watched Annie Hall for the first time, and subsequently went down a Woody Allen rabbit hole where I watched approximately 25 of his films in the last eight months. Allen became my favorite filmmaker, and several of his films wormed their way into my favorites of all time.

Movie Review: 'Thor Love and Thunder' is a Mixed Bag. Top Story - July 2022.
What is it about the Guardians of the Galaxy that no director other than James Gunn can get the voice of the Guardians right? The Guardians of the Galaxy show up in the opening act of Thor Love and Thunder and they appear, for some inexplicable reason, like off brand versions of the characters we love. I had the same feeling about the Guardians of the Galaxy as they were directed by the Russo Brothers in Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame, the Guardians just never sounded right.

Movie Review: 'Crimes of the Future' is Another Cronenberg Masterpiece
Crimes of the Future is yet another example of David Cronenberg’s favorite theme, bodily autonomy, the right of people to do what they want with their own bodies. In his 1975 feature, Shivers, Cronenberg examined how outside forces take bodily autonomy away from individuals by force. In Crimes of the Future, the sides are a little more even. In this strange Cronenbergian universe, the war between those who want bodily autonomy and those who want government control over how humanity is evolving has reached a boiling point.

Movie Review: Jessica Chastain Wasted in Dreary Drama 'The Forgiven'
The Forgiven was made as a combination of the rich people ennui of The Great Gatsby and a moralist critique of the shiftless 1% wasting away on their vast fortunes while callously victimizing the disenfranchised. The film comes up short on both accounts. Written and Directed by John Michael McDonaugh, The Forgiven is sweaty, tired and unfocused outside a few genuinely emotional moments involving a grieving father and the man who killed his son.
