Copehagen Cowboy: Myth of the Archangel

Nicholas Winding Refn is now, more than ever, obsessed with his own myth. Instead of lifting the veil, he's doubled down and embraced his mythic instincts, and his approach to color and light are what guide him. It would be foolish to say these are foolhardy choices: if anything, he's distilled his pool of fans…

The Comic Genius of ‘Brian and Charles’

There was once a burgeoning comedy scene in American cinema, with everything from garish parody films like the 'Scary Movie' franchise or the Wayans Brothers filmic career, to more heartfelt comedy from creators like Mike Shur in 'The Office' or 'Parks and Recreation.' Incredibly enough, while comedy films haven't disappeared entirely here in the states,…

Something in the Dirt: Fear and Loathing in Los Angeles

At a certain point in the new mind-twisting Moorhead and Benson film, 'Something in the Dirt,' you start to feel the conventions of drama setting in. In many ways, it evokes the same themes explored in the thriller from Jordan Peele, 'Nope,' from earlier this year. From there, it's not so much that the film…

George Miller’s Modern Mythos in Three Thousand Years of Longing

In Three Thousand Years of Longing, the feature is the flaw. The movie insists on being ludicrous, on being loud and strange and making no excuses for it. Fans who lauded Miller on his stylish but streamlined project Mad Max: Fury Road will most likely be miffed by this. There’s a smallness to the love…

Spiderhead Movie Review

Spiderhead, a production spearheaded by the New Yorker itself, which originally published George Saunder’s short story “Escape from Spiderhead”, doesn’t nearly approach its ambitions but can exist on what merit is present. Firstly, the resulting film is short, digestible, well-acting and paced with efficacy. Alongside that baseline efficacy, however, come alongside a caravan of quickly…

‘Outer Range’ is A Supernatural ‘Yellowstone’- and It’s Superb

In order to get under the skin of Outer Range, we must first discuss the Taylor Sheridan hit series, Yellowstone. Yellowstone might be a hard sell to the wrong crowd, but to those with enough intellect to read a book, but without the metropolitan sensibilities that dominate much of the entertainment industry by way of…
