A Scene That Defies Belief: Godzilla Minus One (2023)

By Orrin Grey • December 5th, 2023

As with Shin Godzilla, this is an attempt to return to Godzilla’s roots as a purely destructive force. There is no way in which this Godzilla is a “good guy,” even as roundaboutly as the one from the MonsterVerse films.

Boots on the Ground

By Phillip Russell • November 30th, 2023

Killers of the Flower Moon is a complicated film, less so because of the story it tells, and more so with how it’s told and by whom.

Feature Story

Past Presence

Taking the Cullens to Uniqlo

By Emily Price • October 26th, 2023

By Van Dennis • October 17th, 2023

Dorktown’s strengths are on full display here yet again: surprisingly little footage of actual people on the court, a superb soundtrack, and a completely honest appreciation of the men in the titular shorts whose job(s) it is to go out and get their asses handed to them.
