As a Swiftie, of course, I ran to her website to try and score tickets for this experience. I expected AMC to have already been sold out. But after nearly two hours in the queue, my friends and I were able to get through — which brought me to the 12 p.m. showing of “Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.”

All in all, “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” was the highlight of my ever-anime-loving year. Even with some storytelling flaws, the film manages to innovate and entertain. For fans, this was a thrilling kickoff to the endgame. For general viewers, it’s an insanely impressive introduction to the height of anime cinema.

With a movie that feels so relevant to the current political and social reformations of modern America, this was a cruel divergence in wasted potential. As a Black and mixed-race woman, who also lives where the movie was set, I know how prevalent these issues are to myself, the community and friends I know. So when I left the theater, I was a bit perplexed and disappointed. “One Battle After Another” is a well-made movie with nothing to say. It has the rebellious spirit — but no actual cause behind the revolt. This film was not about any particular revolution nor any reason for defiance but instead romanticizes the idea of revolution itself.

All in all, “Him” wasn’t a bad film — it just wasn’t what I was expecting. The cinematography was incredible, the acting stood out and who doesn’t love a sports film?

“The Apprentice” isn’t the Donald Trump story you’re expecting. Rather than a behind-the-scenes look into Trump’s 15-season reality show of the same name, the film follows the story of how attorney Roy Cohn shaped Trump into the figure we know today.
Ani’s blend of street-smart grit, humor and vulnerability captivates from the outset of the film. Ani is not a one-dimensional figure — she’s complex, flawed and deeply human, challenging stereotypes attached to sex work.
If you could go back in time and talk to your teenage self, what would you say?
Wear your retainer. Moisturize. Be nice to your mom. Spend more time with your brothers.

We all know what happens next. Tim Burton’s iconic 1988 comedy-horror film has been lodged into the film world’s consciousness for decades. Its ingenious...
Although “Thanksgiving” meets the quota of what a holiday slasher should do, it’s a bit frustrating that it has no aspirations to carve a fresher take from the bones of its subgenre –– sacrificing characterization for carnage and proving that a great idea doesn’t always translate to a great feature-length film.
As an avid Hunger Games fan, I was itching to see the newest addition to the series, curious of how it would hold a candle to the other four movies. Frankly, I’m not even sure if it fits in the series altogether –– it stands as its own entity, and that separate entity is undoubtedly done well.
