  • Lean on Pete

    Lean on Pete

    I think back on the genre of “horse movies” I have watched (some repeatedly) and loved such as My Friend Flicka, The Black Stallion, National Velvet, Sea Biscuit, and War Horse. In them, the horse was the central character or at least the co-star. Lean on Pete is not one of those. Rather, Lean on…

  • Incredibles 2

    Incredibles 2

    After a long hiatus, the Incredibles are back! Incredibles 2 has a lot to live up to, and Pixar’s Brad Bird does his best to make the family’s return a triumphant one. It’s All in the Family Incredibles 2 picks up right where the last film left off, and it immediately delves more into the…

  • Isle of Dogs

    Isle of Dogs

    “Whatever happened to man’s best friend?” a host of characters woefully opine in Part I of Isle of Dogs. Deprived of context, it’s a funny bit of dialogue, but within the confines of its script, no one would mistake it for comedy. And so it is with Wes Anderson’s latest oddball entry into the film…

  • Ready Player One

    Ready Player One

    We know what you’re thinking. Another Spielberg podcast? Really? Yes, two episodes after The Post we’re back for another discussion on the legendary filmmaker. But his latest outing couldn’t be more different. Ready Player One, based on the novel by the same name, takes place in the year 2045. The world has devolved into a cramped, dirty…

  • Loving Vincent

    Loving Vincent

    It seems like every few years there is an animated movie that knocks me off my theater seat. In my life a few of those that astounded me — due to an unusual subject, a new perspective, or an innovative methodology — are Fantasia (1940 — okay I was not alive then but I first…

  • A Christmas Carol (1951)

    A Christmas Carol (1951)

    “We spirits of Christmas do not live only 1 day of our year, we live the whole 365. So is it true of the child born in Bethlehem: He does not live in men’s hearts only 1 day of the year, but in all the days of the year” — Spirit of Christmas Present With…

  • The Shape of Water

    The Shape of Water

    You’d be forgiven for writing off Guillermo del Toro as just another genre director. Entries like Hellboy, Blade Runner II, Pacific Rim, and Crimson Peak fit neatly in that vein. But if you really want to uncover del Toro’s heart, look no further than 2006’s Pan’s Labyrinth. The film has been described as an “adult…

  • Suburbicon

    Suburbicon

    Suburbicon’s depiction of the 1950’s portrays an iconic American vision beneath the subterfuge of which lie corruption and moral decay. An uneven blend of social commentary and pulp fiction, the film attempts to connect two unrelated narratives by employing the visual motif of a fence that separates the homes of Gardner Lodge and Mr. and…
