The plot follows three firefighters that have been tasked with stopping a killer shark from terrorising New Orleans. Pretty standard action movie stuff, right? However, Tommy Wiseau’s approach to storytelling is to ignore all the rules on how to tell a story.
Read MoreMean Girls — the movie, the musical, the movie (again?), and the mediocrity.
Read MoreI’m not mad Saltburn, I’m just disappointed.
Read MoreGraham’s specific mounting of the script is, I think, a triumph of performance and stagecraft. The effort and passion that have gone into this show are palpable the entire way through and all facets of this performance are deserving of applause.
Read MoreAsteroid City takes Anderson’s trademark fussiness and spins it around like a flying saucer cheekily dancing above a desert crater, leaning us towards the absurd in the process.
Read MoreAs morning frost curls over the leaf litter, and we gently turn our smart metre display units to face the wall, we have reached one of the best times in the year for curling up with a good book by some variety of heating device. But which book? There’s so many to choose from! Well fear not, gentle readers, for Chriz is here to provide six (well technically seven) recommendations for whiling away these chilly evenings.
Read MoreI’ve never been an Irish farmer living in Civil War Era Ireland, but it’s easy to empathise with everyone on screen; in fact, this is the first film I recall that so accurately captures the unique heartbreak of a friendship breakup.
Read MoreCottagecore is dead. Synth pop reigns in Midnights.
Read MoreBlonde is pure trash that both hates and lusts after the central character. If Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame had access to a Hollywood production team, this is the kind of garbage he’d create.
Read MoreWHERE is the MELANCHOLY?!
Read MoreAn ambitious and thought-provoking collection of poems, Melanin Sun (-) Blind Spots mixes the many reverberations of a biracial identity with a complex poetics of ambiguity.
Read MoreMen (2022) is a film about victimhood, trauma, and guilt—the ways in which we survivors can sometimes fail to move on, projecting our worst, embodied memories onto strange men around us, but also the strange men around us who truly do have the potential to be dangerous because they are men and they sniff out and exploit our vulnerability.
Read MoreIf Sex and the City has done anything right in the past, it’s been to show us that women still have sex beyond menopause, and enjoy it. No, there’s something else going on with the new, sexless Sex and the City. And it has to do with masculinity.
Read MoreBoshemia designer and contributor Lauren Elizabeth, who lived in France for close to seven years, reacts to Emily in Paris.
Read MoreAnyway, I guess we’re all going to die. We’re not, but I wouldn’t blame you for feeling that way. You’re stuck inside while people are literally dying and the government’s response has been objectively terrible. The only thing we can do is bake bread and watch TV.
Read MoreJust like its protagonists, Bombshell sacrifices radical change for mainstream accessibility. And just like Fox News, it is very white.
Read MoreGreta Gerwig’s Little Women is, above all, a love letter to sisterhood and girlhood. It is lovingly crafted and gorgeously shot, and carries all the genuine energy and fervour of a houseful of little women navigating a world which they individually realise does not hold space for them.
Read MoreI’m still trying to absorb it. It felt so odd, intrusive, illusionary to see this (beautiful, though wrongly and overly beautified in many ways) image of these people — I’ve spent so many hours considering them, thinking of them, imagining, evoking.
Read MoreGive Joker a skip — not just because Joker is a misogynistic, racist, incel manifesto that will incite violence, but because it’s bad. Joker bad.
