Josh Zyber — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 12:00:40 +0000

Fresh off its Oscar victory, this year’s Best Picture winner comes to Blu-ray and UHD this week. In doing so, it draws a lot of attention away from a big superhero epic that failed to live up to its hype. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Justice League‘ – The DC Extended Universe finally seemed to be gaining...

The 2018 Spirit and Razzie Awards

Josh Zyber — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 13:00:45 +0000

After four consecutive years of simply mirroring the Oscars’ Best Picture pick, the Independent Spirit Awards actually attempted to follow their mission this year and rewarded a different movie that Oscar passed over. Meanwhile, the Razzies are still a thing that happens for some reason. Spirit Awards Jordan Peele and ‘Get Out’ were the big...

2018 Oscar Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 07:00:25 +0000

Following a year where Hollywood nearly self-destructed from countless scandal after scandal and huge cultural shifts, I suppose the fact that this year’s Oscars were largely boring and uneventful is something of a relief. The ultimate Best Picture winner, ‘The Shape of Water’, was perhaps a mild upset (‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ appeared to...

2018 Oscar Nominations

Josh Zyber — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:00:19 +0000

Hollywood is in such a shambles these days that it’s almost a surprise the Academy Awards are going through with an Oscars ceremony this year at all. Nevertheless, tradition must be upheld and too much money is on the line. Actors Andy Serkis and Tiffany Haddish presented the latest round of nominations this morning. Desperate...

‘Call Me by Your Name’ Review: Steamy Honesty

Philip Brown — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 17:00:55 +0000

‘Call Me by Your Name’ is a very specific story about a very specific type of romance from a very specific time and place. Yet like so many of the best films (or even the best stories, full stop), by making something so unapologetically specific, the movie feels universal. It’s a love story, but not...

2018 Golden Globe Nominations

Josh Zyber — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 17:00:56 +0000

Were ‘Get Out’ and ‘Lady Bird’ necessarily “comedies,” exactly? Why didn’t ‘The Big Sick’ get recognized for anything? Did Christopher Plummer really just get an award nomination for playing Kevin Spacey? It’s Golden Globe nomination time. Let the bafflement begin. The 2018 award season kicked off Monday morning when Kristen Bell, Alfre Woodard, Garrett Hedlund...

TIFF Journal: ‘Call Me by Your Name’

Philip Brown — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 19:00:22 +0000

‘Call Me by Your Name’ is so emotionally specific that it transforms into something universal. It’s a queer love story set in a privileged estate in Italy in the early 1980s, yet so perfectly captures pained glances, hushed suspense and explosive passions of love that almost anyone should recognize part of themselves somewhere in the...
