Missing our missing movie theaters

Aidan O'Malley | Monday, August 17, 2020

I was in a movie theater when Notre Dame first went online. It was the Wednesday of spring break. I was back home with no plans and no friends. Painfully aware of the homework I would return to, I dedicated my week to something I struggled to find time for on campus, going to the

Stunting with Pete Davidson in ‘Big Time Adolescence’

Aidan O'Malley | Tuesday, April 28, 2020

Whenever I watch a high school coming-of-age film, I am hit with a pang of regret. Not that I didn’t enjoy my high school experience, but watching the experiences of others encourages all kinds of painful what-ifs. What if I really missed out? What if I did it all wrong? “You’re only young once,” they

‘Never Rarely Sometimes Always’ is the best film of the year

Aidan O'Malley | Tuesday, April 7, 2020

So far, at least; it’s only April. But the latest from director Eliza Hittman (“Beach Rats”) is a bracingly honest snapshot of female fortitude, cast against the backdrop of a country where women’s choices (and their stories) are often stripped away. The film is about an abortion. No matter what side of the aisle you’re

Lessons from ‘Contagion’

Aidan O'Malley | Thursday, April 2, 2020

As the coronavirus pandemic continues its solemn march across the country (there are now nearly 200,000 cases in the U.S., and that’s only those who’ve been tested), Americans everywhere are turning to the leading expert on infectious disease: a Matt Damon movie. “Contagion,” released in 2011, has taken on mythological proportions in the last few

‘Onward’ finds Pixar moving backwards

Aidan O'Malley | Thursday, March 19, 2020

Legend has it that in 1994, as Pixar was putting the finishing touches on the one and only “Toy Story,” director John Lasseter and writers Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton and Joe Ranft gathered during a lunch break and asked a simple question: “What will we do next?” Their answer came in the form of napkins.

‘Jojo Rabbit’ wins and loses

Ryan Israel | Monday, November 25, 2019

When I was 10 years old, I was obsessed with Star Wars. I’d seen all the movies, religiously watched the animated series and even read a couple of spin-off books. I had all the merch, more than one toy lightsaber and for Halloween I went as a stormtrooper. I dreamed of being Obi-Wan Kenobi, obviously

2019’s socially-aware thriller of the year: ‘Parasite’

Ryan Israel | Wednesday, October 30, 2019

In every country, there’s poverty. But wherever there’s poverty, wealth can be found nearby. Sometimes, this wealth can be found only as a dream in the minds of the poor; sometimes, it can literally be seen down the block in a stunning luxury mansion with a lovely lawn of green grass. In Bong Joon-ho’s gripping,

‘High Flying Bird’ misses an easy layup

Jake Winningham | Wednesday, February 20, 2019

Steven Soderbergh’s most successful movies find a way to balance their potentially heady themes with his gift for visually engaging, engrossing storytelling. Take, for example, his two best films. “Ocean’s Eleven” is a look at our nation’s celebrity obsession wrapped up in Rat Pack glitz, while the beefcake fantasia of “Magic Mike” belies a meticulous

Consider watching the Gosnell movie

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, February 20, 2019

In May 2013, Dr. Kermit Barron Gosnell was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder, one count of involuntary manslaughter, 21 felony counts of illegal late-term abortion and 211 counts of violating the 24-hour informed consent law. Gosnell is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The 280-page grand jury report on

Where ‘Velvet Buzzsaw’ disappoints, ‘The Price of Everything’ fills in gaps

Nora McGreevy | Thursday, February 14, 2019

“We don’t sell durable goods, we peddle perception. Thin as a bubble,” says Rene Russo as a money-hungry art dealer in “Velvet Buzzsaw.” She might as well have been describing the movie itself. Dan Gilroy, who directed the movie for Netflix, had all the ingredients for an acerbic, intellectually engaging horror-comedy in his hands, but
