Echoes: Claymation vs CGI: The Battle Between Handmade Charm and Digital Perfection

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:02:01 -0500

In the world of AI today, there is no doubt that claymation is considered an awe-inspiring niche of animation, even if not a mass market, unlike mainstream cartoons. It is surely time-consuming and expensive to produce, as every second of a shot requires dozens of hand movements and adjustments for a frame. Studios like Aardman have come up with the magnificent Wallace and Gromit vibe, despite not being a dominant kids' medium; I'll explain why. Anime, some of which has been increasingly AI-generated, has a wide audience, but claymation is equally revered and respected. It is an arduous, handcrafted art that has a strong nostalgic factor. Claymation still gets awards, and movies still earn 100% critics' scores on Rotten Tomatoes. The Wall Street Journal narrated...

ODYSSEY Review: Rare Thriller That Never Gives Away More Than It Can Afford

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 14:02:02 -0500

Natasha Flynn (Polly Maberly) is a hustler. She runs an estate agency, selling and leasing properties all over London. Working from a flashy office with a cadre of hungry employees, on the verge of a profitable merger with a bigger agency, she shows all the outward signs of a professional on the rise. Underneath all of the parties and fancy clothes, however, she’s crumbling. A coke-fueled ambition monster who owes a lot of money to some very scary people, Natasha is about to discover the lengths to which she’ll go to maintain the illusion of success in Gerard Johnson’s gripping thriller, Odyssey. Johnson’s third feature thriller since 2009, Odyssey’s intense, propulsive energy reflects lessons learned in the years since he debuted with Tony. Maberly, a veteran of British...

BUFFET INFINITY Review: They've Got The Sauce

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:02:01 -0500

Simon Glassman’s Buffet Infinity is one of those movies that defies categorization and can’t be easily pigeonholed. Technically, it’s a found-footage movie; but it’s also, in a way, a screenlife movie. But then again, it’s gloriously retro and ignores modern technology altogether. That’s when writing about it becomes a challenge, even for seasoned film writers who think they’ve seen it all – until something like this comes along. Buffet Infinity is a horror movie. It’s about a small town being swallowed up by some sort of otherwordly cult. It’s a tale of cosmic horror, and it’s told entirely through fictional news clips and cheap commercials, the kind you might see on public access or regional affiliates, especially during the 80s and 90s. ...

COYOTE VS. ACME Trailer: Acme Doesn't Want You to See This So You Definitely Should

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:45:00 -0500

I am a child of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It came out when I was a kid, and I would probably need at least both my hands to count how many times I've watched it. It holds up after nearly forty years. So when someone told me there would be another film where live actors and animated ones would co-mingle, I was skeptical. But one look at the Coyote vs. Acme trailer and I'm sold. Most of us know the story of how this film almost never made it to the big screen, despite its apparent high rating at an early test screening. It took a while (for reasons that I won't write about here since I don't know how litigious certain parties are but you can look...

Beyond Fest Chicago Video Interview: Meiko Kaji, The Legendary Lady Snowblood Herself

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 11:02:11 -0500

Beyond Fest’s first year here in Chicago went off without a hitch. Sold out screenings brought huge crowds and created instant community amongst Music Box Theater regulars, industry professionals and excited out-of-towners. I experienced this first-hand as I arrived for a scheduled interview with the legendary actress Meiko Kaji, best known for her starring roles in Lady Snowblood (1973) and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance (1974) as a young woman raised to be an assassin after the murder of her parents in turn of the century Japan. Revered for their combination of elegant composition, ferocious sword play, and fearlessly violent set-pieces these two films were enshrined in the Criterion Collection in 2016. Kaji herself was a primary inspiration for Quentin Tarrantino's...

Sound And Vision: Cory McAbee

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:00:03 -0500

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week we look at selected music videos by Cory McAbee. Cory McAbee is a conundrum, both as an artist and as a subject for a Sound and Vision. Always on the periphery of mainstream indie cinema he is the true example of an outsider indie artist. His cinematic work is singular, truly oddball and extremely great. The conundrum is this: what kind of artist is McAbee? And could we call some of his art music videos, which is after all the main subject of this editorial? Cory McAbee has a singular voice, and is a jack of all trades. He writes his movies, acts in them,...

Friday One Sheet: KINDERGARTEN

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:02:10 -0500

The poster for this Quebec observational documentary on early childhood, through the titular jardin d'enfants (kindergarden), has at its centre a whimsical, but dense, illustration from France's Jean Millard. His work in watercolor and gouache (a water-based, opaque paint known for its matte, velvety finish) aims to create infinite worlds open to all. The typeface is clear and clean, leaving the eyes to wander through the secret garden, even as the title seems to be wrapped up in it. The poster is framed, as it were, with the credit block, further adding to the seek-and-find element of the design. The pastel gradient through the illustration feels a bit like a sunrise, which is the metaphor of this earliest phase of life. Kindergarten is structured to follow the gradual...

STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU: Final Trailer & Poster Arrive

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 19:58:51 -0500

The final trailer for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu arrived today. It was screened first at CinemaCon, in front of attendees and exhibitors, along with the first 17 minutes of the movie, where all the snowy bits from this trailer happen. Spoiler Alert: Scroll over the space below if you want to read this summary from Variety. Director Jon Favreau took the CinemaCon stage to debut the opening 17 minutes of the film, which saw Mando infiltrate a secret meeting of Empire sympathizers and blow up massive AT-AT walkers on a snowy planet. The bounty hunter shot, stabbed and flamethrower-ed his way through the base full of Snowtroopers, with Grogu helping along the way. The Empire leader sends out a recon droid, which meets...

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY Review: An Old Monster, A New Nightmare, Courtesy of James Wan and Jason Blum

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:32:10 -0500

Universal’s once hyped, subsequently derided “Dark Universe,” a misguided attempt to create a Marvel-style shared universe featuring newly imagined incarnations of the studio’s classic monsters, may be done and dusted, but the mummy, the stumbling, wrapped-in-bindings undead avatar of vengeance, isn't. At least not yet, anyway. Universal will try again, of course, but until then, studio executives concluded that resurrecting the well-regarded action-adventure series starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz would result in better box office. Rather than let a recognizable brand go to waste, Warner Bros. decided to step in with a new take of their own, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. Presumably titled to avoid potential confusion, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy isn’t your great-grandfather’s mummy. It’s not your grandfather or even your...

CITY WIDE FEVER Review: Not Really a Giallo Homage, And That's Ok

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:32:03 -0500

Josh Heaps’ City Wide Fever is a real oddity. On the surface, it’s a small DIY thriller that looks shot on the cheap, which already narrows down its appeal. But if you get on its wavelength over the course of its very brief 70 minutes (sans credits), you might even start to feel a small twinge of nostalgia. Said nostalgia comes from a very different source than advertised. Billed as an homage to giallo, this certainly has a setup those Italian films would have a field day with: A film student named Sam (Diletta Guglielmi) finds a USB in a park one day, containing the life and work of forgotten director Saturnino Barresi, including his unfinished final film, which gives this one its title. As she investigates the...
