Christian’s Christmas: Jack Frost (1998)
By Christian DiMartino Imagine hiring one the most talented, funny actors in Hollywood to provide the voice of a creepy, CGI snowman. Not just a creepy, CGI snowman though: a creepy CGI snowman who doesn’t get much in the way that’s funny to say or do. Of course I’m talking about Michael Keaton, and the…

Feelin’ Spooky: Beetlejuice (1988)
By Christian DiMartino Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice was his second feature-length film, after Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. It’s also the one that really pulled us into his orbit. There is plenty of his touch in Pee Wee, but it feels more plucked from Paul Reubens’ psyche. Beetlejuice, despite the fact that he didn’t even have a…

Every Tim Burton Movie, Ranked
By Christian DiMartino Tim Burton turned 64 on August 25, and with that and the upcoming release of his Netflix series, The Addams Family spinoff Wednesday, I thought it would be a good enough excuse to talk about his body of work. Of which, I am honestly a big fan of. Many think that Burton…

Emmy Nominations 2022: The Highs and Lows

By Christian DiMartino Alright so you may or may not have noticed that I vanished for the last like 10 days. Both of my current segments- “Stallone Saturdays” and “THE Best Picture”- were put on hold. Movies such as Uncharted and Marry Me went un-reviewed. I also deliberately stayed off of the Youtube channel I…

Review: The Protégé
Martin Campbell’s The Protégé is as formulaic as an action movie can get, with a plot that is hardly new. Formula can work though, if the formula is handled the right way. For a good chunk of The Protégé, it mostly does, formula and all, because it’s enjoyable enough. The whole movie is unfortunately undone…

Christian’s Christmas: Batman Returns (1992)
By Christian DiMartino The Batman movies have had quite the history. Yes, we eventually got Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, work from the gods. Yet before them, we had four movies that each had an interesting place in cinematic history. To explain: Tim Burton’s Batman was a smash when it released in 1989, surprising the…

My review of Aaron Sorkin’s very Oscar-buzzy “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”

Review: Spotlight
By Christian DiMartino The Oscar race is heating up quick, though if I had to take a guess at what was going to take home the top prize, I would say that Tom McCarthy’s Spotlight certainly has it down, and with good reason. I hear the term “masterpiece” thrown around quite a lot these days. Spotlight earns such…
