When the calendars roll around to November 1st, many folks immediately enter Christmas mode and start planning — or even starting – their marathons of Christmas movies to watch over the next two months. The best Christmas stories endure not just because they’re filled with lights and trees and presents, but because they get at that thing that makes the holiday season so special, telling the people you love how much you love them. That’s present in Elf and It’s a Wonderful Life and Home Alone, and it’s certainly a key part of why Dash & Lily – a …
On the surface, Charm City Kings seems like a fairly standard coming-of-age story. It follows a young man thinking he wants his life to be one way before learning some hard lessons that show him that he should live a different way instead. But within these broad strokes, director Angel Manuel Soto paints an exciting drama within the motorcycle culture of West Baltimore. Grounded by a sympathetic and captivating performance from young lead actor Jahi Di’Allo Winston, Charm City Kings comes alive as it explores criminal allure without feeling exploitative. Like the best coming-of-age movies, …
It's pretty darn hard not to be completely charmed by the new sci-fi rom-com Save Yourselves! from writer/director team Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson. Blending the traditional beats of an alien invasion movie and a unique kind of existential dread many Millennials are more than familiar with, Save Yourselves! is ultimately a charming and poignant look at how visitors from another planet will make you realize you're not the center of the universe — and fast. [caption id="attachment_932831" align="alignright" width="360"] Image via Bleecker Street[/caption] Save Yourselves! has arguably one of the …
If you removed all of the social commentary from Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw’s charming and thoughtful documentary The Truffle Hunters, you’d have an oddly serene picture about old Italian men and their dogs digging for truffles. I could have watched that alone for hours on end. But to the credit of the directors, they expand their view to show how this modest living has only become harder as competition increases, market forces exert their influence, and the ones actually hunting for truffles only want modest gains while those who trade in truffles are raking in thousands of …
HBO Max has released the official trailer for Charm City Kings, which scooped up the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Prize for Ensemble Acting at this year's Sundance Film Festival. This affecting drama set on the streets of West Baltimore spotlights a star-making turn from newcomer Jahi Di'Allo Winston and features the talents of Teyonah Parris and Meek Mill. [caption id="attachment_927092" align="alignright" width="360"] Image via HBO Max[/caption] The Charm City Kings trailer previews what will no doubt be a promising, intense, timely coming-of-age story. The movie focuses on Mouse (Di'Allo …
If you’re already suffering from Perry Mason withdraws, this should help tide you over until Season 2. HBO has released a video in which star Matthew Rhys talks about the series with none other than Robert Downey Jr., who is an executive producer on the hit drama show. In fact, at one point in time Perry Mason was being plotted as RDJ’s first big acting move after exiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In its early days of development, Downey Jr. was going to star in the Perry Mason remake while True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto was going to …
Arguably the nerdiest thing about me (and there’s a lot of competition) is that I wish board games were a bigger part of my life. That’s right: not that they are, but that I haven’t made them that way because this is such an insurmountable goal for some reason. I was actually planning to change that this year, but then, you know, pandemic. But I love the idea of tabletop games so much that I leapt at the chance to review Charles Mruz’ new documentary Gamemaster, which hit VOD this week. Gamemaster is an essential movie for …

Netflix has released the official trailer for The Baby-Sitters Club. The new TV reboot of the beloved Ann M. Martin YA series has been updated for a new generation of fans Sure, there are some nostalgic touches (like the casting of Alicia Silverstone and Mark Feuerstein), but this series looks to be as modern and lovely as they come. [caption id="attachment_905362" align="alignright" width="360"] Image via Netflix[/caption] The trailer for The Baby-Sitters Club introduces us to a new crew of middle school BFFs who opens up a baby-sitting business in their small town of …
Space Force is a weird show. It’s political but not necessarily specific. Funny but oftentimes quite broad. And surprisingly sweet at times. It kind of defies description, which I suppose makes it a Greg Daniels show. Indeed, Space Force is unlike anything the co-creator of King of the Hill, the U.S. version of The Office, and Parks and Recreation has done before, and yet has an unmistakable sincerity that shines through in the best episodes, and a heavy attention to character. But navigating the world of satire and politics proves to be a somewhat bumpy ride, even …
The hook of The Lovebirds isn't bad—what if you were forced into life-and-death circumstances with your significant other moments after you broke up? Unfortunately, Michael Showalter's new rom-com never really transcends this hook, and instead falls into standard crime-comedy tropes. In the hands of lesser actors, The Lovebirds would quickly fall apart and feel like a lesser version of a movie like Date Night, which wasn't that great a movie when it came out a decade ago. But like that movie, your comedy can go along way when you've got the …
It's been three years since the series finale of Orphan Black aired, but pandemic times have been strange ones, and one of the unexpected benefits has been witnessing old friends reunite for charitable endeavors. On Sunday, the cast and creators of the trippy BBC America sci-fi drama reunited for a two-episode live read via Zoom, to raise funds for CenterLink: The Community of LGBT Centers and Sistering 24 Hour Drop In. The ensuing reunion, which lasted nearly two hours and 45 minutes, is now available to watch in full on YouTube. Orphan Black, for which Tatiana Maslany …
If you've seen Booksmart or Neighbors 2, you know that actress Beanie Feldstein has no problem stealing the show, and now she gets to shine center stage with Coky Giedroyc's delightful adaptation of Caitlin Moran's novel How to Build a Girl. The coming-of-age story is a terrific lens in how teenagers work to build an identity and how that identity has to be constantly rebuilt and torn down to find some semblance of honesty, which is tough when your desires and your truths easily conflict with each other. Although the role has comic beats, Feldstein …
