EL CAMINO: A BREAKING BAD MOVIE: An Ordinary But Affectionate Farewell
EL CAMINO: A BREAKING BAD MOVIE: An Ordinary But Affectionate Farewell

While it isn’t a terribly exciting conclusion to a richly-textured saga, it’s the little moments along the way that make El Camino a heartfelt final chapter in a great character’s story.

THE UPSIDE: Not A Lot Of It

The Upside is occasionally funny and charming, but mostly wastes the talent of those involved, becoming a lackluster remake of the French film.

For all the disease, danger and overt Trump-related reverberations, Wes Anderson’s ninth feature film and second stop-motion film, Isle of Dogs, is decidedly feel-good.

THE INFILTRATOR: A Flawed Crime Drama Still Worth Your Time
THE INFILTRATOR: A Flawed Crime Drama Still Worth Your Time

In recent years, the gangster film seems to be a stale genre, with a majority of the films lacking any distinctive qualities. Last year’s Black Mass is a prime example, with the only really memorable aspect of the film being Johnny Depp’s performance. Viewed against this backdrop, then, The Infiltrator just manages to stand out amongst modern films.

Trumbo
TRUMBO: A Surprisingly Insightful Look At The Hollywood Blacklist

Hollywood and the golden age of film have now all but faded into history, and any glimpse into that world is for that reason a glimpse into history itself. Trumbo is a look at the show business world following the Cold War, when Hollywood started to blacklist people solely due to their political alignments. Starring the very talented Bryan Cranston as the titular character, the film is not only a successful character study and biopic, it is also an engaging and entertaining glimpse at a very dark time in Hollywood’s history.

Trumbo and the Hollywood 10: Why the Blacklist is Still Relevant Today

Dalton Trumbo is not a household name today, but he was one of the most influential screenwriters in the old Hollywood studio system. Many of his films like Roman Holiday and Spartacus are beloved classics, but Trumbo is also a significant figure for his part in the Hollywood blacklist, a period of anti-Communist hysteria that swept through the United States in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Trumbo, like many Hollywood intellectuals, was targeted for his progressive politics in an unprecedented purge that saw many actors, directors and writers, lose their livelihoods, their freedom and even their lives.
