Sam Cooperman ‘22
The Monsterverse is Warner Bros’ attempt at a cinematic universe to rival the massively popular Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the upcoming “Godzilla vs. Kong” will be the make or break moment for this titan franchise. By Josh Lanmcan ‘24 Herman Mankiewicz was a disappointment to his family and bosses. A brilliant playwright who moved to Hollywood during the beginning of the sound period, he succumbed to alcoholism, only writing one great script in his life. But that script became “Citizen Kane,” a film that many proclaim to be the greatest ever made. Similar to the feelings his family holds for him, I too was disappointed by “Mank;” not the man, but the new movie, which is about him and his trials and tribulations while writing his greatest, and only great, script.
By Sam Cooperman ‘22 It took a decade, but 2020’s “Soul” shows the world that the Pixar we know and love is back.
The original 11 Pixar films (from “Toy Story” in 1995 to “Toy Story 3” in 2010) all received critical acclaim and were loved by audiences. However, since 2011’s “Cars 2,” Pixar has been struggling to get back to its roots. Most of Pixar’s original 11 are considered movies for adults that kids can follow which is something I recently discovered while rewatching most of the originals over winter break. |
