Like so many before me, I fell in love with Spider-Man and it was all downhill from there.
Pacific Rim
We operate through our relationships—not just with our spouses or partners, but also with our friends, our family, and our colleagues. Relationships define our world and it only makes sense that they would also define our stories.
DetailsThese are divisive times, desperate for some aggressive agreement. By charming people across multiple backgrounds and beliefs, Baby Yoda unites us.
DetailsAs our movies change and adapt, so too do our stories alongside them. Stories like Frankenstein provide humanity with a lens through which we can observe our world, and allow us to see the slow and gradual changes that may have been invisible over time.
DetailsThe Fly (1958)
This film is, in every respect, a classic. It holds up to the greats in its genre and lands with a flair in the modern day. Well worth the time of any horror fans with a sudden and abundant amount of time on their hands.
DetailsLittle Shop of Horrors
But somehow, in those moments shared between Seymour and Audrey, viewers can find just a little bit of peace in the overall uneasiness and, ultimately, isn’t that what we’re all looking for anyway?
DetailsA Quiet Place
In the abundance of silence, your popcorn suddenly feels like lead in your lap. You’re pinned to your pleather seat, threatened by the potential squeak of a movement. Your very breath has softened, for fear that if you are the next to make a sound, the monsters might hear you, too.
DetailsWestworld
It’s the sci-fi twist on a concept that the fantasy genre has long thrived on—the escapism, the promise of more—and it’s laid out beautifully in the film’s plot. Westworld draws the audience in with a desirable catharsis, enticing us with the endlessness of the story’s possibilities and encouraging us to give all of ourselves over.
DetailsThe Plot Against America
This one checks all of the boxes. Good writing. Great design. A relevance that makes the show feel worth the time spent watching, in a world where everyone and everything begs for our attention.
DetailsWestworld
With so many strong concepts, a solid cast, and a truly stellar design team, Westworld has all of the tools at its disposal to be an endlessly spectacular show. It’s going to take some serious dedication from a talented team of show runners to align everything as perfectly as it will need to be in order to pull this complex show off.
DetailsDispatches from Elsewhere
It’s a great opportunity for televisual innovation, and thankfully this show is in the rare position that its creators seem to know its potential. Dispatches isn’t about the scavenger hunt—it’s about the people who are following it and the bonds that are made throughout.
DetailsStar Wars: The Clone Wars
Clones work, because clones are not droids. They are able to succeed because of their humanity. Season seven’s introductory episode brings this idea front and center.
DetailsWestworld
This story uses up every inch of itself. Nothing is purposeless. Nothing is accidental. Each and every half-second of this show is used towards the greater theme of humanity, even if the view isn’t always sure how.
