The Criterion Collection

5 days ago | slantmagazine.com | Ed Gonzalez |Eric Henderson

In a 1999 interview with LA Weekly, Armond White said, “Spike [Lee] has become a first-rate marketer—he knows what a young audience wants, and he supplies it. Spike picks hot topics—basketball, interracial dating—but that doesn’t mean you break ground. Barbara Walters picks hot topics every day.
Pulp ‘More’ Review: A Reflective but Often Enervating Reunion

5 days ago | slantmagazine.com | Steve Erickson

Pulp’s first single in over a decade, “Spike Island,” grapples with Jarvis Cocker’s mixed feelings about the song’s very existence. He reflects about the unhappiness that seeped into the band’s music after they hit it big in the mid ’90s: “I was heading for disaster/And then I turned back.” Yet he remains torn between rejecting the glare of the spotlight and feeling that “I was born to perform/It’s a calling.” It’s a hell of a way to reintroduce the Britpop icons.
A Sentimental Stephen King Adaptation

5 days ago | slantmagazine.com | Marshall Shaffer

As horror has solidified itself as one of the last remaining bankable bastions of cinema, Stephen King’s vast trove of writing has become a juggernaut of intellectual property. The author is to the genre what Marvel is to action. And few filmmakers understand the literary giant’s enduring appeal better than Mike Flanagan, who previously brought King’s Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep to the screen.
Resurrecting a Legacy

Madeleine Hunt Ehrlich’s The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire is less concerned with shedding light on its subject—the under-translated spouse of poet and Martiniquais politician Aimé Césaire—than with the quandaries involved in attempting to do so.
Wes Anderson and Michael Cera on 'The Phoenician Scheme'

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Marshall Shaffer

“Watching [Wes Anderson] discover and use Michael [Cera] was like watching God discovering water,” quipped Benedict Cumberbatch at the Cannes Film Festival press conference for The Phoenician Scheme last week. “It seems like a pretty obvious, natural element to have in his arsenal as a filmmaker.” And Cumberbatch is right, as it does feel long overdue for Cera to join one of Anderson’s ensembles.
‘The Better Sister’ Review: A Charmingly Silly Murder Mystery Adaptation

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Steven Scaife

Not every book needs a multi-episode TV adaptation. And based on how most of those adaptations turn out, most do not. As adapted from Alafair Burke’s novel of the same name, however, Amazon’s The Better Sister features a familial web so tangled that it all but justifies its existence. High-powered publishing exec Chloe Taylor (Jessica Biel) is married to lawyer Adam (Corey Stoll), who used to be married to Chloe’s alcoholic sister, Nicky (Elizabeth Banks).
‘Karate Kid: Legends’ Review: A Welcome Change of Pace

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Justin Clark

Early on in Karate Kid: Legends, Ming-Na Wen’s character tells Mr. Han, the sage kung-fu teacher played by Jackie Chan, that fighting doesn’t solve every problem, and does it with a straight face. The film takes place in the same universe where everything that happened in Netflix’s Cobra Kai is still very much a canon event and where not a single problem ever presented where can’t be resolved with a karate fight, and the same very much applies here.
A Weird, Wonderful Yoyovania

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Aaron Riccio

Yoyos are well-known for going up and down, but Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo only goes in one direction: up. From the moment the young prodigal bat Pippit first arrives at his aunt’s spooky manor, every colorful, jam-packed screen adds to the character of the game’s corporate-run city. Every room also presents an interesting puzzle or battle, sometimes both, which is impressive given that there are hundreds of rooms.
A Lovingly Esoteric Tribute to Growing Pains

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Steven Scaife

The latest from Katamari creator Takahashi Keita might sound conventional, given his typically kaleidoscopic standards. Where Wattam followed a green block man called the Mayor with a mustache on his face and a bomb under his hat, To a T centers on a human teenager with no political convictions. The character, whose default name is Teen, lives in their small town with their single mom and dog, whose default name is Dog.
Swans ‘Birthing’ Review: A Ritualistic Endurance Test

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Paul Attard

Since reforming in 2010, Swans have made a habit of testing the patience of their audience in pursuit of transcendence, often rewarding that perseverance with profound and overpowering listening experiences. Birthing, a two-hour album with an average track length of about 16-and-a-half minutes, continues that tradition but is even slower, heavier, and more ominous.
