Ever since I watched Before Sunrise I have been slightly in love with Ethan Hawke, and I'm pretty sure seeing him in the 'reclusive singer-songwriter' role may actually cause

Hey everyone! It's back to school time, and I'm sure we're all very excited and not at all stressed about the prospect of surviving another year of learning. To celebrate this totally relaxing time, I thought I'd put together a list of my favorite back to school movies, a surprising number of which focus on the slackers, troublemakers, outcasts, and rebels (so, no Say Anything, because aside from violating some noise ordinances with his boom box and being super clingy, Lloyd

"He didn't teach you how to win, he taught you how not to lose. That's nothing to be proud of. You're playing not to lose, Josh. You've got to risk losing. You've got to risk everything. You've got to go to the edge of defeat. That's where you want to be, boy - on the edge of defeat." Two years ago I had the honor of being a contestant on Sports Jeopardy with Dan Patrick. And yes, for one day I was a Sports Jeopardy champion. I mention this because this week’s film played a s

SPLASH PAGE (noun) - Often the first page of a comic, it is generally a full page image designed to introduce the story and draw readers in. Hi everyone! Welcome to what will hopefully be the first in a weekly column looking at what's going on in the world of comics. The plan is to feature significant news, mini-reviews of comics-adjacent content (such as this week's look at the latest offering from the Marvel Cinematic Universe), spotlights on new comics, and features on com

Welcome to Sci-Fi Saturday, a new column that is devoted to all things science fiction: film, television, comics, novels, video games, and local Metro Detroit events. If there is a topic you'd like to see covered in an upcoming column, email us at kinoclub313wsu@gmail.com! After what has felt like a long hiatus, I am finally back at my marathon of Star Trek: The Original Series. This week I watched the two part episode "The Menagerie" (Season 1, Eps 11-12), "The Conscience of

"Although I'm firmly in the camp that thinks Charlie Hunnam needs to stop getting cast in....anything, I'm actually going with Papillon this week. I usually enjoy prison break movies, and I'm genuinely curious about how Rami Malek's natural

Title: BlacKkKlansman (2018) Genre: Biography/Drama/Comedy Director: Spike Lee Stars: John David Washington, Adam Driver, Topher Grace, Laura Harrier, Jasper Pääkkönen, Ryan Eggold Bias: I've only seen a handful of Spike Lee films, and I'm generally not too interested in bio-pics or dramas. In a Nutshell: The first black police officer in Colorado Springs, Colorado responds over the phone to a newspaper ad soliciting for members of the KKK. He then comes up with a plan to inf

The last decade or so has given us a number of smart and funny horror comedies including 2006’s Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, 2009’s Dead Snow and 2015’s The Final Girls. I will write about each of these films in the near future but this week I wanted to focus on my favorite of this recent breed of clever films spoofing horror: 2010’s Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. From co-writer and director Eli Craig (son of Sally Field) comes a very funny film that takes the “seclu

Specifically, it made me think more about the magical and bountiful cinematic summer that was 1988.
