Practical Magic 2 Is a Shell of Its Former Self (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the 28 years since its release, the original Practical Magic, despite its dismal reviews and middling box-office reception, has accrued a sentimental affection from fans. Not because it’s a good film so much as an approachably sweet one, defined by an aspirationally bohemian aesthetic, a cozy demeanor, and gestures toward the power of women coming together. It’s a vibes movie — looking too closely at its plot only brews frustration. But when it is focused on the chemistry between Sally and
Onslaught Is All Blood, No Guts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Directed by Adam Wingard — the filmmaker behind the fun, synth scored action film The Guest and propulsive yet silly fare like Godzilla versus Kong — Onslaught is the kind of film that should get my pulse racing. After all, it’s about undead super soldiers who unleash bloody havoc on an isolated trailer park in the American desert, only to meet their match in a mother who actually has something to lose and is stricken with PTSD from her time in combat. This plot and the film’s glossy aping of gr
Coyote vs. Acme Is a Commanding, Heartfelt Argument Against Corporate Cruelty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Discussing the metatextual dimensions of Coyote vs. Acme is unavoidable. The Looney Tunes animation–live action hybrid film is an inspired David-and-Goliath tale about the overreach and cruelty of corporations in the modern age, and its journey to release is a real-life corollary. Warner Bros. shelved the film in November 2023 to garner a tax write-off before Ketchup Entertainment bought it for roughly $50 million, a stunning reminder of the dismal state of Hollywood with its endless mergers and
Miss Piggy Is Our Last Movie Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This article was featured in New York’s One Great Story newsletter. Sign up here. I am a blonde because of three women: my mother, Lil’ Kim, and Miss Piggy. The last in particular has shaped my understanding of womanhood and its possibilities since I was a child in the ’90s; every holiday season, I admired her aggressive and assured demeanor as our home wore out the VHS tape of The Muppet Christmas Carol. I am not alone in my estimation of Miss Piggy. “For me, growing up, there was a woman who I
The Last House Is a Perfectly Terrible Film for These Artistically Starved Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In an interview with Cultured magazine when discussing today’s dearth of “powerhouse” divas onstage, actress Greta Lee said something that kept popping into my mind while watching her latest starring role in director Louis Leterrier’s fantastically bent survival movie, The Last House, “As a young person, I was like, Oh, this is the coolest shit ever: that athleticism, that depth, and that strength. Now I feel like we see a lot of two-inch performances. You know what I mean? Everything just feels
