Unless you are a devoted fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), The Fantastic Four: First Steps is not worth seeing. Yes, they recruited some of the world’s top actors (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn). And they delivered again with their signature action-packed scenes. But all that prestige can’t glam over empty writing. …

In this episode of Moviehouse Mystics, we venture into the offbeat, oddly profound world of The Big Lebowski. What may look like a stoner comedy about a guy who just wants his rug back, but is surreal meditation on identity, absurdity, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world. We ask: Who is The Dude?

It is no secret that I am a fan of horror movies. To me, they are the highest form of storytelling. In any story, there must be an obstacle to overcome that conveys a sense of worry or dread in the audience. From the bachelor party searching for the missing groom in The Hangover to Barbie undoing …

For the last fifteen years of my life as a lover of movies, there is only one character who has haunted my mind. His story is an epic, not in the traditional manner of conquest, but his growth as a human being. Driven first by profit, he eventually squanders his long-desired fortune to save the …
Anybody familiar with me knows that I have other great interests besides movies. I am a passionate baseball fan, particularly a Red Sox fan (and I am anxious for this season to begin, as commentators cannot stop singing praises about the team’s depth and acquisitions from this offseason). I am also a man of faith …
