There are movies that make you feel something. Then, there are the gut-wrenching movies that shatter the very expectations that you have about love and leave you and your group of friends crying for 20 minutes after the credits have rolled. “My Policeman,” written by Bethan Roberts, does a phenomenal job of shifting the viewers

Fall can be quite an overwhelming season in college. School, club activities, job applications and social events make a week fly by. Football season makes the weekend almost as tiring as the week, leaving you with even less free time to diversify your schedule. With just one home football game left, you might be wondering:

2021 was a long and tumultuous year for many. After 365 days of hardship and turmoil, many received the new year with open arms. However, there is one important person who missed out on this opportunity. On Dec. 31, Betty White died of natural causes at the age of 99 — only two and a

It is not often that I get mad at a film for merely existing, but this, dear reader, is an exception. Since I must review it, let’s dive in. “Home Sweet Home Alone” is a sloppy rehash of the original “Home Alone,” but without any of the things that made “Home Alone” special. The film

Warning: This review contains spoilers. The existence of Black cowboys was a concept I honestly hadn’t given much thought until the release of the film “Concrete Cowboy.” It wasn’t that I was unaware of the brutal labor Black slaves were subject to, laboring as farmers or ranchers — I had simply settled with the thought

Do you ever feel like you’ve been cheated? As the crowd streamed out of my local cinema after the 6 p.m. showing of “Halloween Kills,” I began to ponder where David Gordon Green and company went wrong. Green seemed to have the “Halloween” franchise under control with the release of 2018’s “Halloween,” which was by

I love Wes Anderson. I’ve seen most of his films multiple times and I have a hardcover copy of the coffee table classic, “Accidentally Wes Anderson,” proudly displayed in my room. I dream of being as mysteriously moody as Margot Tenenbaum, impressively cool as Fantastic Mr. Fox and recklessly in love as Suzie Bishop. TL;DR,

Last Sunday, “King Richard” (starring Will Smith as the father of Venus and Serena Williams) played at the Music Box Theater in Wrigleyville as part of the 57th annual Chicago International Film Festival. As the credits rolled, not only did the film celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Black Perspectives program — it also signaled
