It’s MyCinema Awards time – that time when our writing staff digs through the long lists of movies we loved, loathed, and everything in between to try and capture The Year in Cinema. This year we fell for everything from prestige fare to jazz biopics to fascinating small movies that many other folks overlooked. […]
As I said in our awards announcement (and everyone has said basically every day for awhile now), this was not humanity’s best year. But, you know what, it wasn’t our worst either. Remember how much you all liked Civil War? I couldn’t relate to that, but I was happy seeing how happy you were. There […]
I had so much fun recording last year’s Force Awakens podcast with my Star Wars-obsessed friend Andrew Patti that I invited him back to talk Rogue One. Just a few hours before recording, we learned of the passing of Carrie Fisher, an icon in so many ways but mostly an icon of the Star Wars […]
To celebrate the DVD release of director Andrew Neel’s graphic fraternity drama Goat (based on a true story, by the way; horrific), Paramount Home Entertainment has given us copies to give away to TWO lucky readers.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story may be the most aptly named film to come out this year. It’s a fantastically well-made, well-loved Star Wars film that manages […]
I listen to just a handful of podcasts, mostly TV deep-dives (RHAP, Welcome to the Hellmouth, West Wing Weekly) and long-form interview shows if they have a guest I’m interested in (WTF, sometimes Stageworthy). But, mostly, I’d rather listen to music. Podcasts are a bizarrely intimate medium- the hosts become the voices in your head […]
The My Entertainment World Podcast is back with an all-new episode dissecting the trailer for the latest instalment of the X-Men film franchise. Coming to theatres on March 3rd, Logan promises to be a low-fi, character-driven solo adventure for Wolverine. It’s also likely to be the last appearance of Hugh Jackman in the role he’s played for […]
The Handmaiden is a tautly executed new thriller from Park Chan-wook.* Set in Japanese-occupied Korea, it tells the story of Sook-hee, a young woman who is hired to serve Lady Hideko, a woman who lives with her eccentric uncle in an isolated manor. But all is not what it seems; Sook-hee is secretly working with […]
