Animation recommendations: ‘If Anything Happens I Love You’

Gabriel Zarazua | Wednesday, September 21, 2022

Whether sudden or expected, the death of a loved one is something we can never prepare for. Grief is not easy. Imagine you stumble across an old item — a beloved sweatshirt, a collar with a bell on it or a trinket in the back of a cabinet. You start to remember all the good

‘Bridgerton’ season 2: The return of Lady Whistledown

Cecelia Swartz | Tuesday, March 29, 2022

Dearest Reader, The Bridgertons and Lady Whistledown have graced our screens once more for another season of gossip, melodrama and our favorite rom-com tropes. Following a sensational, steamy first season, lauded as a blend between Jane Austen and “The Bachelor,” “Bridgerton” season two had many expectations to meet. However, season two did not meet those

‘Death on the Nile’ is alluring, but lacks narrative quality

Marcelle Couto | Tuesday, February 22, 2022

A well-defined crime scene, a group of suspects with plenty of motives for murder and a stellar cast. “Death on the Nile,” the new adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel, certainly shares many of the same ingredients that made “Murder on the Orient Express” such a success, but this version of the story is immediately set

‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’ is nothing to sing praises about

Anna Falk | Tuesday, September 28, 2021

After receiving average ratings from critics and less-than-satisfying box office sales, it’s clear why “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” (2021) fails to reach its audience’s expectations.  Directed by Michael Showalter (“The Big Sick,” “The Baxter”), this movie focuses on the rise and fall of televangelist Tammy Faye (Jessica Chastain) and her preacher husband Jim Bakker

Justin George | Monday, September 27, 2021

New Netflix limited series “Brand New Cherry Flavor” is a harrowing story following a young filmmaker as she navigates the process of securing a deal for her first Hollywood project.

‘Another Round’: A brilliant exploration of a midlife crisis

Justin George | Thursday, April 1, 2021

“Another Round” is the latest film from writer/director and Dogme 95 co-founder Thomas Vinterberg. The film handles addiction in a manner that is more akin to “Trainspotting” than “Requiem for a Dream,” and falls firmly within the realm of dramedy and tragicomedy. “Another Round” centers on a group of high school teachers who all decide

Ella Wisniewski | Wednesday, March 31, 2021

When I sat down to write this column, I first thought that I should do a big prank on you guys for April Fools’ Day. Then, I realized that I didn’t know if it was spelled April Fools’ or April Fool’s. And I thought to myself, Wow, this is gonna start a huge drama between
