How Netflix Kept Its Viewers But LOST Its Soul in Pop Culture
Netflix has been pumping out original content for so long and at such an immense scale that it recently released its second original movie entitled War Machine. Although the Brad Pitt-starring first iteration sank like a stone in 2017, the unrelated new War Machine, led by Reacher’s Alan Ritchson, was reportedly a ratings smash, hitting 10th on Netflix’s all-time most-watched movies list, with 140 million views. So far, it’s the platform’s biggest movie this year. If the dearth of online chatte
What Laika Spent 20 Years Building Up to WILDWOOD
Across several decades in Hollywood, Caleb Deschanel has seen a lot. He served as cinematographer on films like The Passion of the Christ and The Patriot, worked on sequences in The Godfather and Titanic, and directed a few episodes of Twin Peaks. Even still, nothing could quite prepare him for his first stop-motion project: working as the cinematographer on Wildwood, the latest release from Coraline studio Laika. While he knew that stop-motion was a long and involved process, he was still surpr

Lee Chang Dong Questions the ETHICS of Your Camera
Lee Chang Dong's seventh feature film, Possible Love, is inspired by true events from 2009, when a Korean conglomerate fired a third of its staff - 2,600 employees - after which many died by suicide. Possible Love is the latest in a long line of Lee movies that engage with themes of class or labor or religion or compressed modernity, that uniquely Korean affliction, without feeling didactic. A different kind of movie would have captured the heat of that labor struggle. Possible Love picks up wit

Why Chloë Grace Moretz's New ROMCOM Feels Like a Time CAPSULE
Much has been written on the new dating politics practiced by Gen-Z — more progressive socially, more conservative sexually, if you believe the hot takes, which you probably shouldn’t. Either way, that sensibility has yet to trickle down to mainstream portrayals of Zoomer romance on screen, which remain largely beholden to templates established by previous […]

Her first album, Ninety-Thirty-Thirty, includes songs heavily indebted to '80s synth-pop and features multiple saxophone solos. Boy
The MONSTER Movie That Just Crushed Opening Weekend

Why Blue Planet III Is Keeping the ROUGH Edges in the AI Age
BBC's Blue Planet III is looking to prove its authenticity by leaving in the less-than-perfect shots.

But one dead giveaway of AI is when things look too polished and seamless. To counter that, Blue Planet III goes warts and all. Executive Producer Elizabeth White told The Guardian in the past, "the amount of plankton and things" floating in the water would hav
