Review: Luca
Disney/Pixar’s Luca is a “kinda” movie. It’s kinda funny, kinda charming, kinda interesting, kinda successful, and ultimately, kinda good. This would be okay if we were dealing with, say, Dreamworks or Blue Sky Animation studios, but this is Pixar. I, like most, hold this studio to a pretty high standard, seeing as they’ve given us…

The Golden Globes: What Was That?
By Christian DiMartino Despite having little interest in the awards season this year, once I made the realization that the Golden Globes were coming on, I couldn’t resist. The Golden Globes are basically the Oscars’ drunken cousin, and despite how unorthodox the show can be at times, it is usually a decent forecast for how…

Review: Borat Subsequent MovieFilm
By Christian DiMartino What a great month for Sacha Baron Cohen. He’s excellent in Netflix’s latest Oscar contender, The Trial of the Chicago 7, and now he’s brought back his greatest invention to date, Borat, with his latest film, the oddly titled Borat Subsequent MovieFilm (you should’ve seen the original title). Baron Cohen’s other adventures,…

On DVD This Week: Three Visual Stunners, Two Ain’t Worth it
By Christian DiMartino Here are the following movies on DVD today: Alice Through the Looking Glass: The sequel to the visually stunning but deeply mediocre Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass proved to be yet another flop for Johnny Depp. Truth of the matter is, for whatever reason, I didn’t completely hate it. I remember having…

Review: Alice Through the Looking Glass
By Christian DiMartino Johnny Depp is going through a bit of a rough patch right now, and Alice Through the Looking Glass isn’t helping any. His career has been in a slump since… well, kind of starting with Alice in Wonderland. Not to mention the scandal involving his wife, Amber Heard. Oh yeah, and critics are dancing all over…

Review: The Brothers Grimsby
By Christian DiMartino I’d watch Sacha Baron Cohen in anything. Yes, he’s a sick bastard, but he’s one of the ballsiest, funniest, and boldest comics we have today. He makes shock value work… Almost every time. There comes a scene halfway through his latest film, The Brothers Grimsby, that is so horrendously disgusting, I considered…

Great Movies: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
By Christian DiMartino The 2007 Oscar season was a strange one. It was going on during the Writer’s Strike, and so results were all over the place. Atonement began as a front-runner, Juno and There Will Be Blood were barely apart of the conversation, and so on. Atonement didn’t even score a Best Director nomination, which is preposterous. But none of…
