The quintessential female revenge flick paired with the most clever subversion of the sub-genre to date, Emerald Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman” takes what audiences adore about “Kill Bill” and turns it on its head. While Quentin Tarantino’s masterful tale of retribution is a beautifully-crafted, satisfyingly cathartic endeavor, Fennell’s satiric...
Two of the finest cat-and-mouse thrillers ever made share more DNA than what initially meets the eye. Sure, one is a slightly cheesy cult horror film from the ‘80s and the other is considered a bonafide modern masterpiece, but they do have an indistinguishable likeness that makes for an intriguing marathon. In “The Hitcher”, a young man (C. Thomas ...
It takes a bold film to revisit traumatic events from the past and reinvent them into something empowering for modern audiences, but that is exactly what these two cult-horror-classics accomplish. Taking on ideas surrounding the misogynistic bigotry of witchcraft persecution, each with their own spin, these feminist-revisionist witch tales make for...
This definitive duo of coming-of-age films from the ‘80s remains the pinnacle of the genre. Many have tried, but few movies have ever managed to illustrate the spirit of youth and friendship quite as purely and effortlessly as these two. In an effort to save their homes from being destroyed, Richard Donner’s “The Goonies” finds a gang of outcast ki...

It’s no secret that Tarantino loves to pay homage to his favorite filmmakers, but who could have pr...
These classics of the 1970s could easily pass for siblings; not exactly in tone or plot, but surely in spirit. Each derived from successful novels in their own right, these provocative companion pieces offered up some daring social critiques for their time, and still resonate with audiences today. Dealing with similar themes of conformity and autho...
From separate parts of the globe, these offbeat teen dramas of the ‘90s would use their passionate voices to speak out about unrepresented problems in their respective communities and become timeless classics in the process.

Sick, cruel, and utterly deranged, these bleak social satires definitely weren’t made for the faint of heart, but they sure are two of a kind. Holding up twisted mirrors to cut-throat capitalism and the remorseless sociopaths it makes of its participants, the pair takes turns poking fun at the cold-hearted nature of separate economic climates, to e...
Ballet and jazz music have never seemed so terrifying. It’s crazy to think that two of the most calming art forms in the world were used to produce a pair of the most relentlessly nail-biting dramas of the 2010s. Frankly just a testament to incredible filmmaking, and a handful of outstanding performances. Natalie Portman stars in “Black Swan”, the ...
