‘Kinsey’

In honor of Pride Month, we should celebrate Alfred Kinsey, pioneer sexologist and creator of the Kinsey Scale. The best way to do that is by watching the film Kinsey, which tells the story of the scientist’s life and career. Liam Neeson stars as Kinsey, who started as a biologist before his fascination and knowledge of sexuality caused him to...

‘Out Of Darkness’

Earth. 45,000 years ago. There's no shelter, no power, and ... gasp ... NO WIFI!! (I can already hear you screaming.) That's the setting for Out Of Darkness, a new survival horror/thriller from director Andrew Cumming. The film follows a small band of paleolithic-era humans who have crossed violent seas and trudged across intimidatingly vast...

‘The Lion King’ (1994)

30 years ago this week, The Lion King hit theaters. It's the fifth film in the 10 year Disney Renaissance period, and for my money, the best one (it might even be my favorite Disney movie, period, but don't quote me on that!). The Lion King has all the hallmarks of a great Disney Renaissance movie: a banging score (Hans Zimmer did not come to...

‘Vanity Fair’ (2018)

I'm not sure why I slept so long on Prime Video's 2018 adaptation of Vanity Fair, but I'm glad I got around to binging it eventually. House of the Dragon standout Olivia Cooke stars as the indelible Becky Sharp, William Makepiece Thackeray's (Michael Palin) ambitious anti-heroine. Becky is the orphaned daughter of an artist and an opera singer who ...

‘Mr. Harrigan’s Phone’

This 2022 Netflix adaptation of a Stephen King novella flew under the radar when it came out, and now it has the distinction of being one of the late, great Donald Sutherland’s final movie roles, after the actor died at the age of 88 last week. Written and directed by John Lee Hancock, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone tells the story of a young boy named...

‘The Bear’ Season 2, Episode 10 “The Bear”

We're just days away from The Bear's highly-anticipated Season 3 premiere, so if you haven't started your rewatch yet, it's time to let it rip. While we recommend a full Season 1 and Season 2 binge-watch before the big day, we also understand that Every Second Counts, so if you only have 40 minutes to spare be sure to fire up the Season 2 finale...

‘Remembering Gene Wilder’

Whenever I tell people my favorite movie of all time is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, it's impossible not to cite Gene Wilder's magical performance as the Roald Dahl-written chocolatier. The documentary Remembering Gene Wilder not only sheds a loving light on his work in the 1971 classic, but over the course of his entire career,...
