17 years in the making…was it worth the wait? I suppose that depends what the wait was for. Super Troopers 2, the crowdfunded sequel to 2001’s Super Troopers, appears to have been designed predominantly for those who contributed to its bud...

I approached Super/Man with a healthy degree of skepticism. After all, Christopher Reeve’s life, health crisis, and death are an open book. What would be the point of rehashing incidents that played out in the media 30 years ago? I had no great ...

Support the Girls belongs to a small genre that pushes back against the concept of film as “escapism.” By rejecting melodrama and artificial comedy, Support the Girls seeks to provide an honest peek into the life of one woman. Unfortunatel...
