🎃OCTOBER COLUMN🎃
The works of Stephen King have been adapted over and over (and over) again into iconic films and popular TV shows. While taking on the entire King canon may be daunting, these classics are a perfect place to start — just in time for spooky season.

“Weapons” is an expertly-paced, frightening and mordantly funny modern fairytale tinged with sadness and grief.
In this age of reboots and sequels, it’s an original horror thriller that should give us hope.

Not a big superhero guy, but Superman impressed me. A fun, poppy, quirky summer blockbuster for a xenophobic, social-media-obsessed, billionaire-run world.

Picked this up as a fan of Nora Princiotti’s work at The Ringer, as a music lover, and as a millennial seeking nostalgic comfort in these complicated times. It hit all the right notes. A deeply-reported and insightful history of 2000s pop music and aughts culture.

Jarring how the world’s falling apart, but there’s also a rich and smart, “Broadcast News”-ish romantic drama written/directed by a talented auteur in theaters. We are so done, and we are so back!
Probably won’t work for everyone, but #Materialists > Past Lives for me.

Director James Mangold has mastered the music biopic — a genre often plagued by mediocrity — first with “Walk The Line,” and now with “A Complete Unknown.”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year … for those wreathed in love. But what about the lonely, the grieving, and the left behind? “The Holdovers,” a new holiday classic, gives voice to the lost and weary.
