2025/06/05

One of last year’s most puzzling releases came in the form of a musical biopic chronicling the rise to fame of British pop star Robbie Williams. While following all the usual biopic tropes, this film made one rather noticeable swerve by portraying its star and subject as an anthropomorphic CGI chimpanzee. With Williams providing the narration and singing and Jonno Davies providing the voice and motion capture, the film, directed by The Greatest Showman’s Michael Gracey, never acknowledges this

We’re heading back to high school for a Legend of ‘99 - that’s 25 years ago! When a prank goes wrong leaving the most popular girl in school dead in the trunk of a car, her clique will stop at nothing to cover up their crime. Starring Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz, and Judy Greer, this film written and directed by Darren Stein didn’t take a huge bite out of the box office, with many critics souring it at the time of release. However, as time passed, audiences have come to see it as a

Director Francis Ford Coppola is widely regarded as one of the greatest directors of the twentieth century, the visionary force behind The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and dozens of other films. For decades, Coppola had sought to make a film drawing parallels between the fall of the Roman Republic and the future of the United States by retelling the Catilinarian conspiracy in modern New York, but was unable to secure studio funding. After three decades of fits and starts, Coppola ultimately spent $120

We’re continuing our journey on the open road this month with a classic Disney movie released three decades ago. In this film, a father and son come to terms with the circle of life while realizing the importance of being prepared to face the challenges of a road trip. Far from meaning “no worries” for the son (who wants to feel the love tonight with his crush), the efforts of the father (who just can’t wait to be king of the road) to reconnect with his son lead to a veritable stampede of sight

It’s Tax Day, and we’re celebrating the fiscal cycle with a movie that gets physical. A film that puts the “internal” from “internal injuries” in the Internal Revenue Service. The flick that proves pocket protectors can be cool and no one will make fun of you for wearing them if you also carry a really big gun. Ben Affleck stars, the same year he donned the Bat-Mantle in Batman V Superman, alongside Jon Bernthal, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, John Lithgow, Jean Smart, and
