The 1980s were a decade that brought many action movies to the big screen, with muscled stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone leading the way. Up until the ’80s, there was no true action genre, but that all changed with classics in the form of movies such as Aliens, Die Hard, and Indiana Jones. These films brought about a new genre, where action was the point of focus, rather than a necessary portion of a story....
The idea of the apocalypse has always fascinated humanity, testified to by the fact that religions incorporate it into their eschatologies and artists utilize it as a literary device. It only makes sense that the most sensorial artistic medium, cinema, would embrace the genre as a way to reflect contemporary fears and concerns, dating back to 1916’s aptly titled The End of the World (which itself illuminated worries over the then-recent Halley’s Comet)....
Following the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union became locked in a struggle for global supremacy known as the Cold War. This conflict saw both nations stockpiling nuclear weapons and engaging in a series of proxy wars around the world. In addition to its political and military implications, the Cold War also profoundly affected American culture, particularly in the realm of film. During the 1950s and 1960s, Hollywood produced a number of Cold War-themed horror movies that reflected the paranoia and anxiety of the time period....
When it comes to comedy TV shows, there’s always something for everyone, even if the genre isn’t a particular favorite. But it’s rare for a comedy series to feature a strong group of women friendships where the relationships aren’t marred by underlying toxicity or bad intentions. While a show like The Office is masterful for a wide array of reasons, it always failed intensely in passing the Bechdel Test. The women couldn’t even be considered close coworkers, let alone friends....
The horror genre seems to be dominated by Hollywood. Take, for example, the list of the best horror movies of all time, and what is found is mostly American movies. Truly chilling masterpieces, no doubt, yet a general horror-lover might miss some of the wonderful, spine-chilling, bloodcurdling gems outside of the US, many of which actually surpass Hollywood. After all, the horror form in the west had been nurtured in Europe: from Greek myths to Grimm’s tales to Mary Shelley and Bram Stokers....
LGBTQ+ representation in film has increased exponentially over the years, making its way into the mainstream. While LGBTQ+ movies are often associated with the romance or coming-of-age genres, what’s important to note is the existence of queer movie villains across all genres. Indeed, there are plenty of LGBTQ+ movie villains throughout cinema, dating back to Classical Hollywood movies, as in the queer-coded Mrs. Danvers in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca, all the way to modern cinema....

A country devastated by a military dictatorship that halted all artistic progress and prevented filmmakers from creating new work, South Korea recently returned to having a prosperous movie industry. With a history of great films dating back to the 60s, South Korea only recently was able to go back and build on what was once a promising industry. Since the election of more liberal politicians that also allowed other films from countries around the world to be shown in their country, the new sensibilities led to an eruption of new artistic talent....

The Good An entertaining, historical piece of cinema that is backed up by solid extras. The Bad At points in the film the picture quality could have been cleaned up more. Big Bad Mama tells the story of Wilma McClatchie (Angie Dickinson) and her two daughters, Billy Jean (Susan Sennett) and Polly (Robbie Lee), as they make their way West in search of a better life. Of course the story isn’t as syrupy as that, there’s gunplay, bootlegging and all manner of troublemaking as “Mama” teams up with Fred Diller (Tom Skerritt ) and William J....

Where does a director go after they release a masterpiece? A film that is as intelligent as it is entertaining, that perfectly captures the zeitgeist of the late-capitalist age? A film that won just about every conceivable award it could have, breaking new ground in the process? Where can they go next? For Parasite (2019) director Bong Joon-Ho, the answer is the distant stars: though he previously suggested his follow-up film could be a Korean action horror movie, according to Deadline, his next film will be an adaptation of Mickey7, Edward Ashton’s 2022 sci-fi novel....
