Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull review
(spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 2008) As everyone knows, there are only three Indiana Jones movies, but if there were a fourth one, this would be my review of it. Let’s be absolutely clear, though: there are only three Indiana Jones movies.

Films of our Fathers.
Father's Day is the day when we honor all the paternal figures in our lives. With Father's Day having just passed I thought it would be a good idea for all the movie buffs out there to write this article looking back at several great films that show why fatherhood is worth while and should always be appreciated. The love of a father and lessons of fatherhood can be expressed in a number of ways and those ways can be expressed through tones of laughter, persistence and dedication, so without further a do, lets take a look at a few films that exemplify these qualities the best.

Bad Movie Drinking Game - Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
The 2017 action/sci-fi/romance/banter comedy Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is one of the most insane movies I've ever seen. It's one of those movies that's so all over the place, so over-the-top, that it makes you feel drunk even if you haven't had a drop of alcohol. But it's enhanced by actually having alcohol. As usual, if you sincerely love this movie, or any of the movies I will ever describe as "bad," please know that badness is not an objective trait or even a negative quality. All movies can bring joy and are art, and there's a special place in my heart for this one. It was one of the first my boyfriend and I watched as a drinking game, and along with the Percy Jackson movies, it proved the concept a complete success.

Documentary Review: Misguided 'Rondo and Bob' Goes Big and Comes Up Short
Rondo and Bob is a strange documentary. The film purports to tell the story of Robert (Bob) Burns, the legendary propmaster and set designer for the horror classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and his obsession with forgotten monster movie star, Rondo Hatton. What we actually get is a confounding series of re-enactments of each man’s life and a few disconnected talking head segments about Burns’ strange life.

Dreams Within Dreams in Bunuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Dreams within dreams within dreams, that’s Luis Bunuel’s 1972 feature film, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Normally, when a filmmaker uses the trope of ‘it was all a dream’ I get annoyed. But the elegant and deconstuctionist way that Bunuel employs the trope makes it work. The dream within a dream within a dream structure in The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie enhances the storytelling while taking the trope and turning it into a charming running gag.

Movie Review The Naked Honesty of 'Good Luck to You Leo Grande'
Good Luck to You Leo Grande is the kind of movie that causes you to evaluate yourself, where you are in life, and how you feel about yourself. It’s also a delightful comedy about an older woman and the sex worker she hires to try and break out of her shell. Myself, I was drawn to the more introspective side of things but if you watch this movie just for the delight of Emma Thompson and her magnetic chemistry with newcomer Daryl McCormack, that works just as well.

Illusion Versus Reality in Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Top Story - June 2022.
The central conflict of Martin Scorsese’s 1974 drama, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, is a conflict between illusion and reality. The film is about the fictional life we create for ourselves as a protective case against harsh reality. It’s not just Alice who does this, we all do it to some extent. Life can be hard and re-framing negatives to positives can be helpful even as a self-deception. For Alice, the self-deceptions multiply in order to justify the choices she made in her life.

Lightyear
Toy Story is arguably one of the best animated films of all time, and for many of us it holds a special place in our hearts. So when the news that there was to be a movie centered around Buzz Lightyear, I was ecstatic. I am someone who has been anxiously anticipating this film and to finally see it on the big screen was fantastic.
