Independence allows brilliance, but it can also allow terrible decisions, such as in Youtopia.

A good documentary instructs and edifies. I recently screened two opportunities to do just that: 2021's Objects and 2023's Join or Die.

Indie films can give us the grit, darkness, and experimentation usually missing from the mainstream, but I find it refreshing when one manages to be sweet, light, and funny.

Character and story take a backseat to stunt casting and nostalgia in a new low point for comic book movies.

My true favorite thing about fall in this area is the Hell's Half Mile Film and Music Festival, being Sept. 21-26 this year at various venues around Bay City.

We wrap up the summer by taking a look at box office winners and losers, the ongoing writers' and actors' strike, and those we lost this summer.

Chances are, in the years to come, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer will be seen as one of the director's greatest films.

The "Barbenheimer" phenomenon is fantastic news for fans of standalone movies that don't involve superheroes or extended cinematic universes, Barbie has become a fascinating cultural lightning rod (we'll get to Oppenheimer next week).

Harrison Ford returns as the whip-wielding adventurer/archaeologist for one final installment.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse captured the beauty, pathos, wonder, pacing, and structure of a comic book in ways that I hadn't even seen before on film and the sequel is as strong as the first and, in some ways, even more impressive.
