Coda is a beautiful feel-good movie that explores uncharted territory. It voices a community that has forever found itself not taken as seriously as it should be. To put that on a global scale and that too as a frontrunner amongst the most prestigious accolades of cinema is the best way possible to get them …
Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts takes you back in time, and punches you in the gut all over again with all the memories.

But few people outside of academia look back to the early days of film, where women like Alice Guy-Blaché, Mabel Normand, and …
Writing the Lost Girls review today with an appalling yet unsatiated appetite. The movie will entangle you in a case that remains a frustrating mystery. With a body count in the double digits, the Long Island serial killings remain one of the top unsolved cases in the U.S. This dramatization of true events will likely …

Graceful imagery of the English countryside adorns the film; a romance grows while another is severed before it sprouts, and archaeology becomes about more than artifacts in and of themselves. The film successfully connects the distant past to the individual …
