Movie Review: 'Don't Look Up' is a Savage Satire of Modern Politics and Media
Don’t Look Up is a savage satire that pulls few punches in calling out those who would deny either COVID-19 or climate change. Playing like a modern Doctor Strangelove, the famously anti-war war movie, Don’t Look Up uses clever caricatures of modern politics to criticize and humiliate those who appear prepared to watch the world burn just to protect some ego born version of their political team, one they believe can’t lose no matter what winning might look like, even if it looks like the death of humanity.

"I always thought Michael Myers was flesh and blood, just like you and me. But a mortal man could not have survived what he's lived through. The more he kills, the more he transcends into something else impossible to defeat. Fear. People are afraid. That is the true curse of Michael."
Jack Anderson KeanePublished 2 years ago in GeeksThe Hunger Games: 5 Characters Who Grew A Lot (& 5 Who Didn't)
Years after its conclusion, the Hunger Games franchise remains hugely popular. Across the four films, the extensive cast of characters is put through more than anyone should have to face in a single lifetime. For almost everyone in Panem, the Games themselves are traumatic enough, but when Katniss sparks a revolution, citizens lose their lives and their loved ones.
Svetlana SterlinPublished 2 years ago in GeeksBrokeback Mountain
I happened to see Brokeback mountain, from 2005. The director, Ang Lee, is from Taiwan and the Orientals, you know, hold back the feelings. Ang Lee had already demonstrated this characteristic in Sense and Sensibility, which I liked. I found Brokeback mountain beautiful and poignant, one of those films that when you go to bed you think about them, when you wake up you think about them, and for the whole day after the vision every frame remains in your mind, because they touch something inside you. In the case of this film, this happens without reason, without emphasis or redundancy. Everything is dry, essential, lean and therefore overwhelming, it is pure romance.

Dear reader: None of these notes are meant to uncover any intention behind the designers of these posters or films. Any resonance between the definitions of the symbols, their appearance in the media, and the themes or plotlines lies somewhere between completely coincidental and absolutely intentional. This applies to all of my symbol and theme digging.

The talent of writer-director Aaron Sorkin is undeniable. Sorkin is a man of words, of wit, and caustic observation. I have no intention of diminishing Mr Sorkin’s talent but I have to quarrel with his choice of subjects. While Sorkin’s rat-a-tat banter and scintillating discourse on important issues is usually very welcome when providing a voice to good hearted politicians on The West Wing or when creating a recognizable version of a social media titan like Mark Zuckerberg, under the strict direction of David Fincher, in The Social Network. However, having that same style saddled onto the legend of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez feels completely out of place.

Every year between the time of Halloween and Christmas, I watch one of my favorite Halloween movies — Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Who are we going to call about this ghost problem? Hmm, I have an idea. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a 2021 sequel to Ghostbusters which appeared in theaters in 1984. A single mom and her kids move onto the unkempt farm of her late father. Upon the discovery that they have a secret connection to the original Ghostbusters, evil ghosts soon take over the small town.

Clearly, Star Wars isn't the only franchise that likes to jump around with its timeline. Since its announcement, Marvel fans have been speculating about when Hawkeye, the latest comic book series on Disney+ starring the titular archer, would be taking place chronologically in the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Home Alone Trips are Pricey
You know you are getting old when you question the costs in the film - Home Alone. No, I am not alluding to the production costs of this holiday classic. Instead, how does one survive the financial costs of the McCallister clan when you look at it?
Movie Review: 'Nightmare Alley' Another Masterpiece from Guillermo Del Toro
Nightmare Alley is a gorgeous cinematic achievement. Director Guillermo Del Toro crafts visuals like few modern directors. With Academy Award nominated cinematographer Dan Laustsen, Del Toro crafts cinematic visuals of remarkable clarity and detail. It’s truly a sight to behold and it shows Del Toro as a consummate filmmaker, a man who cares so much about his film presentation as to turn each frame into a work of art. If you’re waiting for me to offer a caveat, keep waiting. I have nothing bad to say about Nightmare Alley.
Sean PatrickPublished 2 years ago in GeeksNo Time To Die
Warning, spoilers, and unpopular opinions ahead! I saw the new James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ today. It was a good film, understandably so, as it is getting 4.5 to 5-star reviews everywhere. It is excellent as just a normal movie, but as a Bond film, I have a different feeling.
