Greg Sestero for The Room, The Disaster Artist, Best F(r)iends
I had the chance to chat with Greg Sestero (oh hai Mark!) about his complicated collaborative history with Tommy Wiseau.

Ready Player One, Pacific Rim Uprising, The Death of Stalin
This week brings two films burdened by heavy expectations, and one pleasant surprise. Spielberg’s titan, “Ready Player One” hits screens, I finally check out “Pacific Rim Uprising”, and review the pretty brilliant but scary “The Death of Stalin.”This review is spoiler free! “Ready Player One” is adapted from the novel by Ernest Cline, and it…

Midnight Sun, Journey’s End
This week brings the teen doomed romance “Midnight Sun” and the WWI British film, “Journey’s End”. “Midnight Sun” is the doomed teen romance movie about a girl who can’t be exposed to the sun. Much to my chagrin it was not a vampire film… It stars Bella Thorne, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Rob Riggle. On the…

Tomb Raider, Love Simon

A Wrinkle in Time, Thoroughbreds
This week brings Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of Madeline L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time”, and Cory Finley’s murderous teen thriller “Thoroughbreds.” The source material for “A Wrinkle in Time” does not scream “make me into a film!” but if there was anyone who could potentially have done it, it was Ava DuVernay. While there are admirable…

Red Sparrow, Nostalgia
Jennifer Lawrence (like… almost ALL of Jennifer Lawrence) is back on the big screen this week in the spy film “Red Sparrow.” Also way too many famous people waste my time in the limited release “Nostalgia.” It’s easy to compare “Red Sparrow” to Charlize Theron’s “Atomic Blonde” (which I loved). In part because there frankly…
