I’ll say this about “Vanquish,” the awful new crime thriller starring Morgan Freeman and Ruby Rose: it gives you plenty of warning about what you’re in for right from the start.
This year’s Academy Award nominations were announced last month, and it seems like they were met with a collective shrug. Sure, film nerds like me still keep up with the Oscars, but they’ve been losing their pop culture relevance for at least a decade (some would argue longer). The ratings d…

‘One Night in Miami’
Stephen King’s epic “The Stand” is a formative novel for me. I tackled the 1,150-page behemoth for the first time when I was 13 and fell in love. The author’s self-proclaimed “dark tale of Christianity” set in a post-apocalyptic America was his twisted spin on “The Lord of the Rings.” Only i…

As if 2020 wasn’t already weird enough (how’s that for an understatement?), I had to put together my list of the year’s Top 10 films during the middle of a pandemic that prevented me from going to theaters for months. In fact, I only saw 10 films total on the big screen since January — easil…

Chadwick Boseman’s death from colon cancer last August came as a crushing blow to many, not just because he portrayed a hugely popular superhero and was, by all accounts, a genuinely wonderful person. It was also a gut-punch because it felt like we were robbed of decades of incredible perfor…

Like a modern-day Dante, University of West Georgia alumnus Matthew O’Brien first descended into the underbelly of Las Vegas nearly 20 years ago. The author later chronicled his journey in “Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas,” taking readers through the pseudo-purga…

Fourteen years ago, Nashville legend Marty Stuart decided to organize a “Late Night Jam Session” the day before the annual Country Music Association Awards Show. He did not ask permission from anyone at CMA, and he may not have told anyone what he was planning to do on the eve of the most im…

Ben Wheatley isn’t known for conventional, middle-of-the-road filmmaking, so in a weird way, it’s fitting that his most audience-friendly movie is a story about a new marriage full of secrets, death, and a potentially haunted palatial estate. With this new film, he’s also adapting a beloved …
While I definitely miss the theatrical experience, until recently I hadn’t seen anything during this never-ending pandemic that made me wish I’d watched it on the big screen. Heck, even when I ventured to the multiplex last month to check out “Tenet,” I walked back to my car praying I didn’t…
