‘Mulan’ brings honor to no one

Aidan O'Malley | Friday, September 11, 2020

Disney live action remakes are a special kind of cinematic purgatory. Few of them are truly irredeemable; you can always count on lavish production design, ornate costumes and some solid VFX. But in service of what? “Cinderella,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin” — these movies are soulless. I’m not sure a studio has ever been

‘I’m Thinking of Ending Things,’ but where to begin?

Aidan O'Malley | Tuesday, September 8, 2020

How do you solve a problem like Charlie Kaufman? Perhaps “problem” is the wrong word. Puzzle? Riddle? Rabbit hole? The Oscar-winning screenwriter of “Being John Malkovich” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” — more recently the director of “Synecdoche, New York” and “Anomalisa” — is one of my favorite filmmakers, but he doesn’t make

Phineas, Ferb and the movie that could have been better

Colleen Fischer | Friday, September 4, 2020

TikTok made me do it. I have been saying that more than I ever thought was possible prior to quarantine, but alas, here we are; “Phineas and Ferb’s” creator Dan Povenmire took to TikTok to promote “Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe.” The opening of this movie is great, with an upbeat song

‘The One and Only Ivan’ a cute, if not singular, family flick

Aidan O'Malley | Monday, August 31, 2020

I’ll be honest, I only watched this movie because we’ve been trapped in our dorms for two weeks. That being said, I could have done a lot worse with 90 minutes than “The One and Only Ivan,” the newest addition to the Disney+ catalog and the latest film to forego a theatrical release. I feel

‘Project Power’ shuts down a clever premise

Aidan O'Malley | Tuesday, August 25, 2020

Last Friday, movie theaters opened their doors for the first time in what felt like forever. All across the country — or rather, across certain parts of it — you could have seen “Unhinged,” a road rage B-movie starring Russell Crowe. You could have, but evidently you did not. Netflix is counting on your caution.

The Top 20 Movies About Journalism, Ranked: Part 2

Jake Winningham | Wednesday, August 19, 2020

Yesterday I ran through numbers 10-1 on my ranking of the top 20 movies about journalism. I finish my list today with stops in Russia, the Watergate Hotel and, to start the countdown, the San Francisco Bay. “Zodiac” (2007) David Fincher’s “Zodiac” is a rarity amongst journalism films: the story at the heart of the

Commencement 2020: Four years in review

Ryan Israel and Mike Donovan | Friday, May 15, 2020

It’s time to turn the clock back to what, in retrospect, seems like a simpler time: late summer 2016. The class of 2020 first arrived on campus via an “Ultralight Beam,” looking forward to four years of academic and faith “Formation” and dreaming of staying up “All Night” with friends. Not yet “Destroyed by Hippie Powers,”

Top three movies you will only want to watch once

Luke Sisung | Tuesday, March 31, 2020

During this dreadful time of isolation, I have decided to spend a decent portion of my free time watching movies I consider valuable. This catalog of movies ranges from Hitchcock classics to “Finding Nemo.” Typically, when one sees a great movie, there is some willingness to watch that movie again at a later time. Through

Scene Selections: Social distancing starter pack

Ryan Israel, Mike Donovan and Jake Winningham | Tuesday, March 17, 2020

Always the ones to seek the positive in a negative situation, Scene sees these next few weeks of online classes and social distancing as an opportunity to catch up on shows and movies, read a good book and connect with our minds and souls. This can also give you the motivation to start that really

Ranking the films of 1999, pt. 2

Jake Winningham | Thursday, October 3, 2019

Yesterday, I counted down the 20-11 spots on my list of the best films from 20 years ago. Today, I’m joined by a group of ornery Colorado children, a particularly talented impostor and John Malkovich to list the 10 best movies of 1999.   “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut” (directed by Trey Parker and
