Movie Review: 'Guest of Honour' Starring David Thewlis
Director Atom Egoyan is known for pain and deep emotional trauma. I once watched a friend of mine descend into a despair so deep while watching Egoyan’s The Captive that I strongly considered hiding the cutlery. Egoyan lingers on trauma, meditates upon it and explores it in the same way Civil War doctors probed wounds searching for unseen shrapnel. Egoyan digs in with his fingers and offers only a minor sedative via his deliberate storytelling.

Documentary Review: 'You Never Had It: An Evening with Charles Bukowski"
“This is where i f*** my soul” Charles Bukowski showing off his legendary typewriter At what point did Charles Bukowski transpose from beloved genius to accouterments? I mean this in all due respect to the man, he had a particular, spiky genius that is undeniable. That said, at a certain point, veneration of Bukowski became veneration of the self. Take for example, that guy we all knew in college, you know the one. Instead of Scarface posters on his wall he had a Bukowski poster and would keep well worn copies of “Love is a Dog From Hell” or “Ham on Rye” conspicuously at hand when company came.

The Cringy Dialogue of ‘Step Up 3D’
I love Step Up 3D. It’s quite possibly one of my favorite movies. But, my heavens, does it have some cringy dialogue. For those of you who don’t know, Step Up 3D is about a group of dancers, the Pirates, in New York City who are battling to win a dance competition called the World Jam. Their main rivals are the Samurai, who are led by Julien, a disgraced former Pirate. The Pirates hope that by winning this competition they can make enough money to pay for their warehouse-home. The leader of these dancers is Luke, who is falling for a girl named Natalie who likes to dramatically dance by herself in the club. This causes problems when we find that Natalie is the sister of Julien and may be trying to sabotage the Pirates.

A Cannabis Culture created on screen.
Guy Ritchie films tend to have an erratic tone and are filled with characters whose motives are not clear until the finale frame. The Gentlemen is no different and plays to every convention Ritchie has created for himself throughout his career.

How ‘Waterworld’ Became the Last Big Action Film of its Kind
July marked the 25th anniversary of Waterworld, but that is not the only thing celebrating an anniversary. It is also the 25th anniversary of what is considered one of the biggest big-budget flops of its era, and more impactfully it is the 25th anniversary of one of the last blockbuster films made almost entirely with practical effects. Waterworld truly was and still is in a sea all its own.

“What’s In the Box?”: Analyzing the Mystery Box
The biggest challenge for any movie is getting the audience to care. You have to draw the audience into the story and the lives of the characters before the film can have any real meaning. This doesn’t mean that the audience has to love or even like the characters, but they have to be invested or inquisitive about the characters and their world. An easy way to draw people in is to raise a question about the world, or, to open a mystery box.

Classic Movie Review: 'Mo Better Blues' is Spike Lee's Least Loved Classic
Mo Better Blues is not one of Spike Lee’s most well remembered movies. The follow up to his inflammatory masterpiece, Do the Right Thing, Mo Better Blues is a complete change of pace. The film owes far more to Spike’s She’s Gotta Have It than Do the Right Thing. Mo Better Blues is a character piece, rather plot-less, but with an undeniable personality, life, and energy.

Review of 'Code 8'
Caught Code 8 the other night on Netflix. It's at once a story of people with superpowers, robot cops, human cops, and criminals. The people with superpowers are feared by normal humans, with the result that most of the superpowered have become criminals. None of this is particularly original, but Code 8 is lifted by a real humanity that infuses the narrative.
