Celluloid Ramblings: THE CURRENT WAR

by JB

Here’s another one of those movies with a trailer that’s somewhat intriguing and then… poof! The film dies a quick death… like a horse being electrocuted.

Erika's Favorite Movies of 2019

by Erika Bromley

Nearly every film on my favorites list from last year related to or made me empathize with mental health struggles and those suffering through them, and nearly every film on my list for 2019 made me reflect about income inequality, social structures/traditions, and human connection. Does art reflect life? Absolutely. And we are all better humans for it.

Mark Ahn's Favorite Movies of 2019

“Let us give each other the courage to see beyond the stories we are born into.”

Rosalie's Favorite Movies of 2019

by Rosalie Lewis

Time for a little math (only a little, I promise): At this point, I have watched 75 movies released in 2019. And out of those, fully 35 of those movies are on my “favorites of the year” list. Don’t worry, I won’t torture you with 25 honorable mentions (though it is tempting). But I do want to acknowledge that a lot of truly wonderful stuff barely missed my top 10—stuff I am positive I’ll return to and perhaps love even more as the years go on.

Thoughts on a few films that will just miss my best-of list.

Listen Up: Movie Picks to Match Your Musical Mood

by Rosalie Lewis

A few weeks ago, everyone on the Internet was posting their “Spotify Wrapped” results—a summary of their listening habits for 2019. As a recovering music store employee/DJ and current voyeuristic weirdo when it comes to other people’s pop culture consumption, I loved seeing what my friends and celebrity crushes listened to this year.

Celluloid Ramblings: CATS

by JB

My experience with the new movie version of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Cats should be reason alone for me to delete and ignore the Twitter machine forever.

How Not to Watch CATS This Week

by Sarah Jane

Look, let’s get this right out of the way. Cats is not good. It just isn’t. There are so many weird choices that were made, and the film definitely suffered for it. My husband and I just came out of a Sunday afternoon screening at one of the Alamo Drafthouse locations in Austin, TX, and the crowd we saw it with was one of the most disrespectful audiences I’ve ever had the displeasure of spending two hours in the dark with watching a movie. It was truly ugly.

Review: STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

by Rob DiCristino

The Skywalker Saga ends with a buffet of empty calories. And that’s fine.
