It’s 2026. The AI arms race is fully underway, and all the major tech players are rolling out new and better generative products. You hear that Aaron Sorkin, the Academy-trophied Tiresias who wrote The Social Network, has penned (and directed) a sequel of sorts that continues the Facebook story.
Then you find out it’s about The Facebook Files, what turned out to be an explosive but less-than-apocalyptic episode in the company’s history, and something within you deflates.
No one reading this has to imagine that scenario, because it is, of course, what happened.The Social Reckoninghas just hit theaters—and it’s a colossal misfire.
Bernardo Bertolucci’s Il Conformista tells the story of fascist spy named Marcello on an assassination mission, as memories from his past haunt him in the present. One of the film’s central ideas is Marcello’s faith in the image of fascist Rome. Bertolucci weakens this image through a distortion of time and space and powerful imagery
Summer is over once again, and to ring in the new season–and our new members–The Moviegoer lists the best and most iconic college movies (with special emphasis paid to the ones that are about the back to school season). The following fifteen classics are in no particular order.
Project Hail Mary is an adaptation of Andy Weir’s 2021 novel of the same name. It follows science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) after he wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. As his memory returns, he also gains an unlikely friendship in Rocky the Eridian alien. The acting is great, the screenplay is charming and full of heart, and the visuals are striking.
If you asked most people a few years ago who was “winning” indie horror, the answer would've been obvious: A24, of course. But between 2021 and now, something shifted. Not all at once and not always clearly, but deliberately. While A24 horror started to feel scattered, Neon built something more strategic.
What’s interesting is that Neon didn’t start with a clear horror identity at all. It was built over time, and I track that evolution in three distinct pseudo-phases: pre-Titane, post-Titane, and post-Longlegs. Each phase had a different strategy. First it was discovering talent, then experimenting with identity, and finally scaling into something that looks a lot like dominance.
