The People's Joker is a better class of comic book movie
The reason I’ve sat on this review for over a week after seeing this movie is because I’m really not sure what my review can add to it, which thoughts or reactions of mine could possibly contribute to the dialogue Vera Drew forwards in any meaningful way, what I can say that the movie hasn’t.
The People’s Joker, if not perfect, feels complete; a rigorously personal piece of art that feels at…

Love Lies Bleeding and the precarious comfort of giants
In Japanese “大丈夫” (Daijoubu) is a catch-all that roughly translates to “It’s alright.” If you trip, someone it’s the phrase you would exchange with the person who checks up on you. “Daijoubu?” “Daijoubu.”
Etymologically, 大丈夫 breaks down into 大 “big”, and 丈夫 “sturdy.” And 夫 on its own can translate to “man.” So, one could say that, in Japanese, wellness means being like a big sturdy man. Big…

Hundreds of Beavers is Live-Action Loony Tunes
I think one of the greatest casualties of the death of Cable and David Zaslav-ing all over the place is that kids today don’t know how fucking funny the Loony Tunes are. I’ve been working at an elementary school these past few months, so I’m aware of at least a few dozen children between the ages of 6 and 11 who don’t know who Tom and Jerry are. I know they’re Hanna Barbera, but my point…

We are complicit in The Zone of Interest
As I sat down in an auditorium in New York City – a top contender for the title of “World Imperial Core” – and Jonathan Glazer’s latest movie, The Zone of Interest started, the first thing that piqued my attention was one of the production logos: The Polish Film Institute. As the name implies, this is the Polish state’s national foundation for film production, having sponsored over 100 movies…

Deep - Short Screenplay
For some reason, I started the year thinking about the Titan submersible incident from the middle of last year, and wrote this script over a few days.

My Favorite Things of 2023
Almost without fail, the holiday season drops me into depression. Things aren’t helped by the fact that I’ve been unemployed since September after nearly four years at the same place, and well, the state of the world in general. But because I really hate indulging in these feelings, I thought maybe I could make myself happier by writing about the things that brought me the most joy in…

Poor Things: Master of her domain
The sky used to be bluer.
As we age, our eyes change so that certain colors like blues appear to us as more muted, partially as a reaction to protect themselves from UV radiation. So, if you remember the summer skies of your childhood as almost impossibly blue compared to more recent days – in a way – they were.
The same can almost also be said of the skies on our screens, as technologies…

Minus One is the Godzilla of your dreams
Beyond the incredible CG, an impeccably captured sense of scale, sympathetic human protagonists, and propellant action sequences – the best trick that Godzilla Minus One pulls is walking the line between being thematically obvious and emotionally surprising.
With the subtly and subtext expected from a movie centered around a 300ft radioactive dinosaur, characters spell out the themes of the…

In THE BOY AND THE HERON, Hayao Miyazaki plays the hits
It is close to impossible to comprehend the – “influence” feels like too small a word – wake?, that Hayao Miyazaki has had and will continue to have on human art and culture. His most popular and approachable works, like Spirited Away, Kiki’s Delivery Service, or My Neighbor Totoro are impeccably constructed fairy tales about stepping out of childhood and into new worlds. Nausicaä of the Valley…

It Grew Up with Me
I Remember You, the twenty-fifth episode in the fourth season of the cartoon Adventure Time, debuted on October 15, 2012. I was 18 years old and working towards my BA in Media Studies. I had been a fan of Adventure Time, but I also knew that I was a couple of standard deviations above its target audience of children.
But on October 15, 2012, watching the episode I Remember You with my uncle (an…

Off the Top - Short Screenplay
Off the TopDownload
I had the idea for this story late last year, and now that I’ve had some free time, I finally wrote a version of it down.
It’s a short silent movie – so no outright dialogue – and also I imagined it in black and white except for one moment that’s called out in the screenplay.
It’s a metaphor about how the capitalist social system tries to deny people any sort of fulfillment…

Barbie is Everything… annoying about advertising
I had a lot of fun watching Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, and I’m not going to posture and pretend that I wasn’t amused, charmed, or dazzled over those two-ish hours in the theater. Barbie Land popped off the screen as a perfectly realized toy town, as plastic and pink as you could imagine. I can’t imagine better casting than Margot Robbie as Barbie, not only as someone who looks the part as much as…

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 keeps it spectacularly simple
Some of the earliest box office draws in cinema history were just tours of exotic locals. People would flock to the theater in droves to see Historic Bruges, Venice: Jewell of the Adriatic, or Elephants in Burma. Equally as compelling were the slapstick antics and stunt work of vaudeville comedians like Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, and of course, Buster Keaton. The thrill of early cinema wasn’t…

Granfalloon is the real villain of Across the Spider-Verse
In addition to the living existential crisis threatened by The Spot, one of the primary antagonistic forces in Across the Spider-Verse is, ironically, the Spider-Society. Led by Miguel O’Hara (Spider-Man 2099), this league of Spider-People is introduced as a specialized strike team with the mission of preserving the integrity of the multiverse by preserving so-called “canon events” – things that…

Across the Spider-Verse is the most beautiful movie I've ever seen
I have thought about Across the Spider-Verse non-stop since I saw it, and I have so few words to express how joyful and fulfilled this movie made me. From the first frames, it felt like the first time I’d ever watched a movie.
Directors Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson lead a team of thousands of animators and other artists through a screenplay written by Phil Lord,…

A Kick to the Shin Kamen Rider
I enjoyed Shin Kamen Rider, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it *enough*
Of the three non-Evangelion Shin movies, Shin Kamen Rider feels a bit like an odd duck. For one, it’s the only one without Shinji Higuchi in a directing role and bringing his decades of tokusatsu experience to the project. This one is writer-director Hideaki Anno through and through.
For another, it’s the first of these that’s more character driven than plot driven. The government task force in…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and the End of a Universe
I loved Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. I hope it's not the last MCU movie I'll be able to say that about.
Going by box office numbers, I’m clearly not the only movie-goer with Marvel fatigue. And the causes for it have been clear for a while now. Marvel movies have gotten stale.
It’s actually kind of refreshing to go back to the earlier movie in the MCU and notice how it feels like they were directed by… directors rather than by the mandate of the cinematic universe. Captain America: The First…
