Bumblebee May be the Best of the Transformers Franchise, but is it Any Good?
As far as franchises go there are few as unappealing to me as Transformers. It is solidly built on a foundation of everything I (and many cinephiles) loath. First off it’s a live action movie based on cartoon from the ‘80s based on a line of toys based on a line of toys from Japan. […]

It’s hard to be critical of a […]
The Shape of Water Proves to be a Contender for Best Picture
The Shape of Water is a chilling symphony in blues and greens and blue-greens and green-blues and aquamarines and teals, maybe just teal. Teal with rust accents that contrast and add to a meticulous patina that is both subtle and deeply metaphorical. The plot is one you’ve seen a hundreds times, just with a flashy […]

Abrams Episode VII: The Force Awakens was […]
