The film industry’s biggest night is fast approaching. On February 9, film fans across the world will sit down and watch intently — or at least follow along on their phones — as 2019’s best films (and Joker) are recognized by cinema’s most prestigious award-giving body. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman and […]
I am an Adam Sandler apologist. This is one of my less popular film-related opinions. After all, the man is responsible for Click, Grown Ups and worst of all, Jack and Jill. These movies are indeed awful, but not because of Sandler’s acting. When given well-written dramatic roles (think Punch-Drunk Love or The Meyerowtiz Stories) […]
The summer after my junior year of high school, I was in between TV shows and in search of a mindless comedy to pass the time while I searched for a serious drama to binge-watch.

After releasing his last gangster film, The Departed, 13 years ago, Scorsese’s newest addition to the genre, The Irishman, is set to arrive in select theatres next month. The Irishman premiered at […]
