The Village Voice

The Village Voice was a pioneering American publication focused on news and culture, recognized as the first alternative newsweekly in the nation. Established in 1955 by Dan Wolf, Ed Fancher, John Wilcock, and Norman Mailer, it served as a voice for New York City's creative community. Although it ended its print run in 2017 and halted online updates in 2018, its archives remain available for public access online. In January 2021, the website resumed publishing original stories, and in April 2021, it released a spring print edition.

Review: ‘Fountain of Youth’ Lacks Exploration of Life

1 week ago | villagevoice.com | Asher Luberto

Do they make movies like they used to? They sure have made a lot of silly, swashbuckling, symphonically absurd treasure hunt movies in recent years, with throwbacks like Dora, Uncharted and Tomb Raider attempting to rekindle a semblance of that wonderful genre. The new Guy Ritchie flick, Fountain of Youth, bucks that promising trend — it’s a bloated, increasingly derivative treasure hunt movie with a star-studded cast and a brain-numbing plot.

Final — oh yeah, sure. How is the rickety Hollywood mansion-shack going to stand with one less pile column to hold it up?

This past decade has been a cynical one for American institutions, if sporadically idealistic on a leftist, grassroots level. The return of socialism to mainstream discourse and the spread of unionization, coupled with the ripples of recent social justice movements, have forged pockets of collectivity and mutual care among what increasingly feels like an opposition without electoral representation.

Review: ‘The Damned’ Keeps the Boredom Between Battles Ultrareal

2 weeks ago | villagevoice.com | Michael Atkinson

We may live in a movie dystopia of franchise malignance and CGI everything-everywhere, but rest assured, there’s always the reverse flank rising, the DIY no-budge Luddites intent on making it all small and keeping it all real, and this week the van-life winner is Roberto Minervini’s The Damned, a resolute anti-blockbuster that dares to de-escalate the Civil War movie.
