The Criterion Collection released Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets in 4K Ultra HD just in time for the film’s 50th anniversary. Martin Scorsese made two feature films before this one but Mean Streets would really be the one that placed him on the map. It would also become an influential film in American indie film canon and inspire a number of filmmakers. That being said, it’s not unfair to say that Mean Streets took some time…

National Treasure: Edge of History concluded its first season with the thrills, mystery, and excitement that one expects from the franchise. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the spinoff series because it wouldn’t have the same magic without Nicolas Cage. The chemistry between Cage, Justin Bartha, and Diane Kruger were what drove the previous films. Jon Voight and Helen Mirren also added to the fun. What happens when you take them out of…

The Irishman utilizes current de-aging technology but the film is another epic masterpiece in filmmaking from Oscar-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Netflix may have released Roma last year but The Irishman is its biggest test yet. With a legendary filmmaker at the helm, it shows that Netflix isn’t playing around. Scorsese is a legend in the industry–this goes without saying. The only question now is will those among the old guard consider this film during awards…
"The Irishman: Another Martin Scorsese Masterpiece"
National Treasure: Book of Secrets suffers from the same problem that seems to plagues many sequels by offering more of the same. The film does manage to up the stakes and increase the action. This time, the legacy of the Gates family is on the line. But rather than keep it simple, the clues take Benjamin Gates (Nicholas Cage) and company overseas to Paris and London. The film’s prologue puts Thomas Gates on the scene…
"National Treasure: Book of Secrets ups the action"
National Treasure is still a fun adventure to be had some fifteen years after the adventure film was released in theaters in 2004. The film asks us to imagine a map being on the back of the Declaration of Independence. It is a fun idea no matter how preposterous that the idea sounds. But before we get to this point, a young Benjamin Franklin Gates must learn the Gates family history. It turns out that…

With a film that pays homage to Japanese cinema, Wes Anderson has done it again with the crowd-pleasing stop-motion animated feature, Isle of Dogs. Isle of Dogs is as much the story of Chief (Bryan Cranston) and Spots (Liev Schreiber) as it is 12-year-old Atari Kobayashi (Koyu Rankin). Although it left him in a three-year coma, Atari had survived an accident while his parents perished. He was left as a ward to his uncle, Mayor…
