    by Don Shanahan December 1, 2025, 11:00 am

    With the spine of a sports movie, the maniacal misadventure Marty Supreme from director Josh Safdie invites and pushes viewers to get into a tizzy, more or less, over ping pong. For film aficionados with simpler tastes than finery produced by A24, there’s a good chance they haven’t seen ping pong depicted this much on […] More

    Eddington Shoots Satirical Holes in Our Pandemic Past

    A man in a cowboy hat argues with a man in a vest in a street in Eddington

    by Don Shanahan July 13, 2025, 10:00 am

    Eddington may take place in a fictional New Mexico desert hamlet of 2,435 people, but the film is drenched in temerity of every sort of viscosity and potency. Mortality, ethics, hospitality, and even blood itself run thick and thin at numerous points in this venomous satire, which dares to set its lurid affairs during the […] More

    Armageddon Time Offers Ineffectual Talking Points

    Two teens run together out of a park tunnel in "Armageddon Time."

    by Don Shanahan November 4, 2022, 9:03 am

    In Armageddon Time, the central character Paul Graff, played by newcomer Banks Repeta, is a kid who neglects the wisdom of the “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” expression.
