Dreams 1990
Dreams is exactly what it claims to be – surrealist vignettes that don’t make sense but derive from some form of a subconscious thought and are capable of creating untold realms of beauty and anguish alike. It’s the definition of art in cinema, and a great argument that cinema is art.
Dreams (1990) is Akira Kurosawa’s third-to-last film, only Rhapsody in August (1991) and Madadayo (1993) come later. True to his end-of-life works, Dreams is filled with vivid, detailed color…

The Bad Guys: Little Lies and Alibis 2025
Not gonna lie, totally thought my theater got a sneak preview of The Bad Guys 2. For a few seconds, I thought this would be even better than what I was there to see, which was Dog Man. And then I realized it was a five minute cartoon to entertain the kids and confuse the adults before the actual feature.
The multifaceted prism of cinema experiences is endlessly fascinating.

Death of a Unicorn 2025
The similarities between A24’s Death of a Unicorn and Jurassic Park are astonishing. For one thing, they both feature lawyers tasked to go to a rich person’s property out in the middle of nowhere and creatures of mythological proportion subsequently wreak havoc.
The odd likenesses between the films don’t end there, however. There’s also the weird happenstance where the child of said creatures is taken from their parents and are threatened to be sold to the highest bidder, although the…

The Last Waltz 1978
One thing I did not expect Martin Scorsese to do with his 1978 concert film The Last Waltz was to incorporate next-to-no interview footage from the musical group he films, The Band. Sure, there are interviews sprinkled throughout the film, but none are longer than ninety seconds in length. Why does Scorsese rely so heavily on the concert scenes? A possible answer to this question is that the five members of The Band, Robbie Robertson, Dick Danko, Levon Helm, Richard…

Am I Racist? 2024
Matt Walsh’s hilarious yet exposing series posing questions to the general public continues in a brilliant fashion. Walsh made, alongside director Justin Folk, producer and DailyWire owner Ben Shapiro, a film called “What Is a Woman?”, that, two years ago, took the United States by storm. Gender identity was a topic so controversial and divided that not one individual Walsh interviewed on the opposing side of the topic were able to answer a simple question. The 2022 film was only…

In the Lost Lands 2025
In the Lost Lands, surprisingly, isn’t based on a video game. Sure, it has people saying the word “quests” out loud, and each destination the characters travel to feels like a different level of gameplay, and the actual movie looks like a standard 2010s RPG. The atmosphere is either a hellish lava swamp, a dirty, grimy wasteland of a once-sprawling utopia, or a dusty, sand-ridden outback. So basically, a video game, even though it’s based on a book written by…
