Movie Reviews and Previews They’re fixing Lord of the Flies Luca Guadagnino continues to not make that Call Me By Your Name sequel as he is in talks to direct an adaptation of Lord of the Flies. This is not the gender-bent version previously announced, but a more traditional take on William Golding’s book. GOOD. A female-led version is By Sarah • Jul 30, 2019 04:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews RBatz is a crusty lighthouse keeper One of the outliers in this year’s Oscar race is The Lighthouse, the sophomore feature film from Robert Eggers. His previous film, The Witch, is a near-masterpiece, but Eggers, like Ari Aster, makes films in the horror tradition, so the Academy blows them off.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for July 29, 2019 Dear Gossips, Avengers: Endgame comes out on digital this week.

Movie Reviews and Previews Zombieland returns Zombieland was a surprise hit in 2009, popular enough that people speculated about a sequel, but the cast immediately blew up and got too busy to reunite. Until now, ten years later, and the gang is back together for Zombieland: Double Tap, a totally unnecessary sequel that looks stupid as By Sarah • Jul 26, 2019 10:54 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Quentin Tarantino’s wistful Hollywood fairytale You could never accuse Quentin Tarantino of being a brief storyteller, but even by his loquacious cinematic standards, Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood is shambolic, a shaggy, unkempt story that wanders to and fro, sliding back and forth in time with extended flashbacks and multiple shows-within-a-show. The pacing is By Sarah • Jul 25, 2019 01:24 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Are we REALLY prepared for Taika Waititi? I feel like we’re not. Or rather, I feel like the world is not. I love Taika Waititi, he’s one of my favorite filmmakers working today. I take any and every opportunity to recommend his films, but I think a lot of the time, the recommendations go ignored.
