Movie Breakdown: Glass

Pre-Screening Stance: I think that Unbreakable is a solid film, but I’ve never really understood why it has long been heralded as a masterpiece.  Its successor, Split, is pretty great and has seemingly shoved M....

Movie Breakdown: If Beale Street Could Talk

Movie Breakdown: CAM (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: This was one of the films I was most eagerly anticipating at Fantastic Fest, and of course, it was one of the films I was unable to see. Post-Screening Ramble: The effect of...
