Chloé Zhao's 'Nomadland’ Swaps Debt & Housing For Self-Reliance & Freedom On Wheels

Chloé Zhao’s ‘Nomadland’ Swaps Debt & Housing For Self-Reliance & Freedom On Wheels

The first time I watched Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland (2020) felt wrong, as I could neither process it visually or emotionally. The movie felt grander than words or a VOD streaming release. It took a second round to grasp it, then it clicked. What felt wrong all along was that Nomadland has to be seen on the big screen. It demands a movie-theater experience. Nomadland invites you to set off on a…

Adapting 'Maus': Why The Gripping Graphic Novel Can’t Translate to Film

Adapting ‘Maus’: Why The Gripping Graphic Novel Can’t Translate to Film

Given Hollywood’s track of graphic novel adaptations, it is certainly alluring to discuss favorite ‘can’t miss’ graphic novels as ‘deserving’ of a (‘proper’) movie adaptation. One such case is Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, which has been a notoriously hard nut to crack. Others simply shouldn’t, not for lack of offers, but other reasons worth nitpicking about.

  Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer-winning memoir M…

Blood, Balloons, Аnd Tricks For A Special Reunion in The ‘IT Chapter 2’ Trailer

With fans worldwide making amends with the aftermath of big cinema and TV send-offs, it was a matter of time (has it been 27 years already?) until New Line Cinema and the Muschietti team would send out their invitation to what may be the most wicked reunion/faceoff yet. After setting the mood in the teaser released in May, the final trailer to IT Chapter 2 was finally set afloat this week, so we…

Is ‘Guava Island’ Childish Gambino’s Yang To ‘This is America’s Yin?

Donald Glover and Hiro Mukai (the creative duo behind Gambino and Atlanta) recently announced the release of Guava Island. Teased as a mysterious film project, starring Gambino (Donald Glover), Rihanna (Ocean’s Eight), and Letitia Wright (Black Panther), it arrived just in time for Gambino’s Coachella act and forced regular folks like me to get a free Amazon Prime trial so we could watch it…

'IT Chapter 2 Is Coming'. Get Ready For The Sequel With A Little Help From Some Stunning Fanart

‘IT Chapter 2 Is Coming’. Get Ready For The Sequel With A Little Help From Some Stunning Fanart

 A few days ago, Stephen King posted a cryptic announcement on twitter that the sequel to Muschietti’s 2017 wildly successful remake of IT is … ‘coming‘! To me, the wait for IT Chapter 2 felt at times as painstakingly slow as it must have been for those Game of Thronesfolks who have been anticipating the winter season for years. However, it has been easy to stay connected to the Losers thanks to…

The ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Trailer Is In. Here Are The Highlights Of The Queen Biopic So Far!

It is a kind of magic to experience the first footage from the long-awaited Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsodywhen expectations about a movie have never been so high and so low at the same time.

It is a grand and spectacular affair, which pays tribute to one of the most iconic and beloved rock bands led by the late legendary…

Hatred, Darkness, Modern Love Collide In Wim Wenders' Drama 'Submergence'

Hatred, Darkness, Modern Love Collide In Wim Wenders’ Drama ‘Submergence’

 “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. Shortly after his Masterclass on the restoration of Wings of Desire, Wim Wenders took the stage of NDK to introduce his new movie, Submergence, as a story about ‘hatred and isolation first’ and then a love story. ‘Love’, he continued, ‘because we need light’,…

Oscars 2018: A Timeline Of Insomnia, Joy And Twitter Madness

3 AM Monday, March 5th 2018, The Couch in The Living Room. Matsa (our Oscar-friendly cat) is lying sprawled on the floor next to me diligently waiting for the 90th Academy Awards to start- she is rooting for Guillermo del Toro’s movie, as it features several cats (grossly overlooked cat performances). I log into twitter ready to live-blog the event. 12h ago: Jimmy Kimmel opens the awards and…
