It Happened One Night (1934). Top Story - August 2023.
I can hardly call myself a connoisseur of Classic Hollywood and the romantic comedy if I haven’t got an opinion on It Happened One Night (1934). The film is often considered the blue print for the romcom genre with Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable setting the tone for the push and pull of the attraction across social divides for filmic eternity.

The Sound of Freedom and the Maligning of Truth. Top Story - August 2023.
So much stink has surrounded this film that I went to see it to see if any of the media criticism leveled at it had any merit. Is it a conspiracy laden melodrama exploiting child trafficking for a buck? Is it a call to awareness about this dark hidden world that we all know exists but don’t hear about much? Is it good? Is it bad? So many questions... So let’s pull the trigger on this and get to bottom of it.

The End Of Hollywood's Cookie Cutter Era?. Top Story - August 2023.
Will 2023 be the death of Hollywood's golden era of cookie-cutter movies? For the billions, and billions, of dollars that moviegoers have spent on Hollywood's cookie-cutter era of films, it could be argued that it's about time things changed. There has been an overwhelming lack of originality, and at times creativity, for far too long. Just look at what's failed this year.

As one of the most translated Italian authors of all time at the time of his death, Italo Calvino is probably best known for his writing of the Oulipo Movement being an Italian in a mainly French literary genre.

Space Buns: The Erasure of Women's History and BIPOC Culture. Top Story - July 2023.
“I love when you put space buns in your hair! They are always so cute!”. I heard this quite a bit in high school. When my hair got long enough after shaving it, I sported the space buns look often. Even as I got older, I still put the two buns on the side of my head, even adding strands of hair on the sides to give me a Katara of the Southern Watertribe esque look. The last time I wore these buns was just as recent as a few months ago, and I got the same Space buns compliment from a coworker. But I didn’t know why they were called that, space buns, and I didn’t really care to know.

Barbie & Oppenheimer are here to save us.. Top Story - July 2023.
July 21st, 2023 is one of the most anticipated days in recent cinema history that I can recall. With Barbie and Oppenheimer both set to finally arrive in theaters, it's difficult to remember a single date that had movie-lovers as universally excited as this approaching Friday.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning. Top Story - July 2023.
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, or, as I like to call it: Tom Cruise and the Elusive Maguffin, because that’s basically what they all boil down to. This one is no different. Which is a good thing. If it ain’t broke, don’t try and fix it.
