Big Screen Verdict: ‘Sinners’

2 weeks ago | sunnewsdaily.com | Lexy Borgogno

A film that stars Michael B. Jordan and involves vampires was not on my 2025 Bingo card. Yet, “Sinners” is my favorite film I’ve seen this year. “Sinners” follows the story of twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, who move back home to Mississippi in the 1930s during the Jim Crow era. Together, they create and start up a juke joint where their cousin, Sammie, is the star of opening night. But racism isn’t the only evil lurking around the corner.
Big Screen Verdict: ‘Nickel Boys’

Ever since I read “The Nickel Boys” my senior year of high school, it’s been my go-to book I recommend to anyone and everyone—I always thought I’d make it into a film, but someone beat me to it. From the genius mind of Colson Whitehead, the story follows Elwood Curtis, studious and on the road to getting a college education, who is wrongfully sent to Nickel Academy. This is where he meets Turner, a survivalist at Nickel.
Big Screen Verdict: ‘Snow White’

Watching the live-action “Snow White” left one long-standing question in my mind: Who wanted this movie? Because I sure as hell didn’t and neither did anyone I know. By now, you’ve probably seen all the controversy surrounding “Snow White,” with the casting of Rachel Zegler and the CGI seven dwarfs. Throughout every step of production, it felt like every article released would criticize the decisions being made, which left me skeptical of the film before even seeing a trailer.

Big Screen Verdict: ‘A Complete Unknown’

Feb 8, 2025 | sunnewsdaily.com | Lexy Borgogno

Timothée Chalamet’s performance in “A Complete Unknown” is the only aspect of the film that makes it worth watching. “A Complete Unknown” is a biopic about singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and his folk music success, which turns into controversy when Dylan chooses to make and perform rock music. While an artist’s struggle of being bound to one genre of music appeals to some, it didn’t provide me with a fulfilling movie experience.

Big Screen Verdict: ‘Here’

Nov 6, 2024 | sunnewsdaily.com | Lexy Borgogno

Calling all “Forrest Gump” fans—”Here” reunites Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, showing the stages of their lives within one singular space. Yes, that’s right. The movie is shot using one angle; a creative endeavor that ultimately left me feeling disconnected from the story and the characters. Essentially, the camera was placed in one spot to show everything that happened within that space, covering the span of years from the Ice Age to current day.
