    A thematic analysis of Spider-Man


    Spider-Man is one of the most enduring and beloved movies of this century. And well deserved it is. It's a fantastic film full of heart and passion, accurately visualizing the sensation of reading a comic book. Less appreciated, but maybe equally important to its lasting legacy; it is one of the most thematically dense movies ever made. Every scene, every line of dialogue, almost every shot, helps construct a narrative running underneath the plot. Even…

    "Kinky sex. I'll go get the midgets and the whips."

    What better film to kick off this All-Night B-Movie Mystery Marathon than Hard Ticket To Hawaii. With everyone's energy at 100%, eager and awake, Andy Sidaris' cornucopia of boobs, one-liners and bazookas had us cheering non-stop for the crazy, the awful and the occasionally brilliant.

    Being human is hard. What’s your excuse?

    Sister Midnight is a unique and very human comedy that does not deserve to get overlooked this year, if for no other reason than I’ve never seen anything else quite like it. The plot synopsis might be a little underwhelming; “a newly-wed sits on the bed staring at her wall for ten hours a day” might not be the best pitch, but just trust me, and don’t look at any of the spoilers.…

    This is deeper than A Space Odyssey. Oh, and it's shit.

    Pretty bold of them to make a movie without a single scene.
