Bohemian Rhapsody Isn’t Without Controversy

bohemian rhapsody queen

Bohemian Rhapsody was heavily criticized by critics decades ago, but became one of the most influential songs in history. I can't say the movie will have quite the same longevity and impact, but maybe it deserves more credit than critics are giving it. Or does it?

#tbt The Virgin Suicides

September 20, 2018September 20, 2018 Courtney Young4 Comments

Sofia Coppola's debut film is somewhat of a beautiful mess, an unsatisfying mystery that has stayed with me all these years.

#tbt In Defense of “Legend” (1985)

September 6, 2018 Courtney Young15 Comments

With Tom Cruise, unicorns and Ridley Scott behind the lens, what could possibly go wrong? Apparently, it depends on who you talk to.

It's being called 2018's sharpest political satire, required viewing for every American, and once you watch it, you'll understand why.
