With Disney’s current dominance at the box office, it is difficult to believe it, but they weren’t doing so well (theatrically) in the latter half of the 1980s. They had experienced, especially in the animation realm, a series of costly underperforming features and the sure thing that used ...

“How do you like the vacation so far?” By the time this question gets asked in the film, lifelong friends and now literal partners-in-crime, Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) cannot help but bust out into ear-to-ear smiles and laughter that have them both absolutely beaming  ...

Let’s get this out of the way upfront: If you aren’t a Wes Anderson fan, then it is recommended you stay far, far away from his latest film, Asteroid City. Similarly, if you don’t “get” his brand of filmmaking, there’s really no need to waste your time reading any further, as nothing here is going  ...

When we meet the overly-privileged young Londoner Tony (James Fox), he’s passed out in a makeshift chair in his empty new townhouse with a drink in his hand, only to be awoken by the polite, prospective manservant Hugo Barrett (Dirk Bogarde) reminding him of their 3 p.m ...
