WATCH CLOSELY: “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” Ends on a Sentimental Note

I will miss Chilling Adventures of Sabrina more than I may care to admit.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Peg Aloi

Film Review: The Best Horror of 2020

It was the most terrifying of times, it was the most horrifying of times.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Peg Aloi

Arts Feature: Best Movies (With Some Disappointments) of 2020

Our demanding critics choose the best films (along with some disappointments) of the year.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Gerald Peary, Neil Giordano, Peg Aloi, Tim Jackson

Film Review: “Another Round” — Not Drowning but Waving

The excellent cast and realistic tone make Another Round oddly accessible, despite its rather outrageous, anti-social premise.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Another Round, Mads Mikkelsen, Peg Aloi

Film Review: “The Nest” — More Is Less

The Nest is a personal story — unsettling, beautiful, moving and haunting — about that most public of sins: greed.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Carrie Coon, Jude Law, Peg Aloi, Sean Durkin, The Nest

Film Review: “The Craft: Legacy” — Girls Just Wanna Cast Spells

At a time when witchcraft — not to mention women’s issues of power, autonomy, and identity — is such a prominent part of our cultural conversation, it’s disappointing that The Craft: Legacy doesn’t weave a more satisfying spell.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Blumhouse Productions, Peg Aloi, The Craft Legacy, Zoe Lister-Jones

Film Review: “Rebecca” Remade — Pretty But Unnecessary

What is the problem with this Rebecca? It is stunning to look at and well-crafted, but I sometimes felt as though the actors were striving for a tone more suitable to a film other than the one they were in.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Armie Hammer, Ben Wheatley, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, Peg Aloi, Rebecca

WATCH CLOSELY: “Lovecraft Country” — Blackness, Blackness, All Is Blackness

Lovecraft Country is quite a thrill ride at times, its heady balance of realism and fantasy spiced up with an intoxicating dose of science fiction and time travel.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Television Tagged: Charlotte Sieling., Helen Shaver, Lovecraft Country, Peg Aloi

TV Review: “Ratched” — A Sensational Sartorial Folly

Ratched is lurid, violent, sexually explicit, outrageous, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Ken Kesey’s novel or Milos Forman’s award-winning film adaptation.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Peg Aloi, Ratched, Ryan Murphy, Sarah Paulson

Film Review: “The Devil All the Time” — Bad Things Happen, Over and Over Again

This may be the year’s best ensemble cast, and that goes a long way towards making this multi-layered melodrama accessible and compelling.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Peg Aloi, Robert Pattinson, The Devil All the Time, Tom Holland
