 If you’re looking for an excellent movie to watch right this very second, might I recommend the 2018 horror movie, Cam? It features a phenomenal performance from Madeline Brewer as Alice, a cam girl on the rise who’s itching to become top-ranked. One morning she wakes up to discover someone else using her account — an exact replica of herself. After the release of Cam I was mighty eager to claim director Daniel Goldhaber for the horror genre, but at the Toronto International Film Festival this year he threw a curveball. I’d love to see more horror from Goldhaber one day, but it’s even more exciting to see him deliver a wildly different sophomore film that shows off a wide-ranging skillset suggesting he’s capable of tapping into any genre, presenting complex narratives, and tackling productions of any scale and scope. Goldhaber’s second film, How to Blow Up a Pipeline, couldn’t be more different from Cam, and it’s just as impressive. Inspired by Andreas Malm’s book of the same name, Go

 With writer-director Jordan Peele’s Nope now playing in theaters, I recently had the chance to talk with Daniel Kaluuya about making the film. During the interview, he talked about the difference between the way Peele worked on Get Out and Nope, what it was like filming with IMAX cameras and cinematographer Hoyt Van Hoytema, the way he prepares for a big scene, deleted scenes, and what people might be surprised to learn about the making of Nope. While I know a lot of you love to learn everything you can about a movie before you see it, I’d recommend watching Nope knowing as little as you can. But for those that need to know something… Nope is about a few residents in California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery. The film also stars Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Brandon Perea, Barbie Ferreira, and Keith David. Finally, I strongly recommend seeing Nope in an IMAX theater. Peele shot the movie using IMAX cameras and the best way to experience the film is in an IMAX theate

 Over the years, I have often heard praise launched at Steven Spielberg's Jaws. And while I knew, on some level, that the praise was warranted, I never really found myself compelled to watch it, especially after watching a few classic films and ultimately feeling disappointed by them. Did I have the heart to tell people, after finally watching Jaws, that their favorite movie was mediocre? With this in mind, I went into Jaws with a neutral perspective. I understood that Spielberg is prolific and responsible for a lot of our favorite movies, but I was going to try and not let that color my opinion of Jaws, for better or for worse. And with the re-release of Jaws this week in IMAX, I thought now was the perfect time to finally dive into the waters of Amity Island. Based on Peter Benchley's novel of the same name, the story is one we're all familiar with at this point. A man-eating great white shark is terrorizing a small beach town on the East Coast of America at the height of

 Netflix’s recent release Look Both Ways is a pleasant, fluffy rom-com about life’s limitless possibilities and those pivotal forks in the road that make you wonder “what if…?” Audiences that are young enough to be especially interested in this film may be too young to recall a similar flick from 1998: Peter Howitt's Sliding Doors. This film uses the same innovative narrative tricks to explore more than one story for its main character, the trajectory of her life split into two timelines by one fateful circumstance. Look Both Ways follows a young college graduate, Natalie, played by Lili Reinhart (Riverdale) whose world is turned upside down on the night she suspects she might be pregnant following a one-night stand with her friend, Gabe (Danny Ramirez). The moment Natalie reads the results of her pregnancy test, two simultaneous storylines open up. In one, a childless Natalie moves to Los Angeles with her best friend, Cara (Aisha Dee), to pursue her dream career in animation. In t
