This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn’t exist.It’s probably safe to assume that a good number of us were first exposed to new myths, legends, and fairy tales via animation. The medium is the perfect place for that sort of story. After all, not being bound by the constraints of reality arguably makes us more open to the fantastical worlds presented therein....

One of the secret MVPs of the MCU from as far back asIron ManisSarah Halley Finn, the casting director who’s been partially responsible forone of the most well-cast franchises in film history.

The Golden Age of Hollywood was considered to have reached its end by the mid-1960s. In an era dominated by films going from black-and-white to color and from silent to sound, this period in American cinema defined much of what the cinematic medium could be, equating filmmaking with glamour, escapism, style, and allure. However, an increasingly cynical society on the verge of a radical revolution craved for a more intense and realistic cinematic medium....

There are of course plenty of TV shows and movies that have their fictional characters celebrate real-world holidays. After all, there wouldn’t be sucha market for Christmas movies(eventhe charmingly bad ones) if people didn’t enjoy seeing that holiday in fiction, for example. And then of course there are all the horror movies intrinsically tied to Halloween, romance movies about Valentine’s Day, and, in 2023, evena high-profile Thanksgiving moviegot a decent amount of love....

As the saying goes, good things don’t come easy (and often). While there has been an increase in the production of television series in recent years, only a handful are so spectacular that they will leave you with a long-lasting impression of them. Sometimes, audiences find hidden gems that become their favorite shows, but they don’t last as long as they should. Some widely-beloved television series in this category includeSherlock,True Detective, andPEN15....
