One of the most highly anticipated films of the upcoming holiday season is, undoubtedly, Warner Bros.‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. While the ongoing saga of witches, wizards, and Muggles alike is all well and good, we must also keep track of the non-human critters among us, seen and unseen. The magical menagerie is part of what makesJ.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World such a fun, whimsical place to spend time in, be it in the pages of a novel or the seats in a movie theater....

Every so often, there is a film that resonates with you on a personal level. It finds its way into your very soul, leaving an indelible mark the more time passes. It is a blessing and a curse, forever shaking you in ways that a story should while also leaving you unable to forget it. A quietly devastating look at the aftermath of an all too common horror of American life, writer-directorFran Kranz’s debutMassis one such film....

It’s hard to believe that we are now three years removed fromGame of Thrones’ final season. For almost a decade, that acclaimed fantasy series was the most talked about thing in all of pop culture.

Forget the opera capes and screw the glitter. This year’s last word invampire sexinesswears a knit cap on his head and his hapless nerd heart on his sleeve. MeetReginald the Vampire, the latest offering in the vampire genre that marries humor with horror in a suburban setting, with a neon plastic aesthetic and a delightful grotesque sensibility. Based on the novel seriesFat VampirebyJohnny B. Truant, the story flies in the face of popular media’s collection of impossibly hot bloodsuckers by framing its central hero as a sort of below-average everyman whose vampiric transmogrification only adds to his problems but who discovers his hidden strengths in the process....

I wouldn’t be surprised if I keep going back toIn the Heightsas one of the best films of 2021 because of what it represents. Originally scheduled for summer 2020, the film was delayed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet it feels even more immediate because of its emphasis on community and what we owe to each other. After a year of being separated,Jon. M Chu’s adaptationLin-Manuel Miranda’s 2008 Tony-winning Broadway musical feels like a rich experience of a community coming together over a shared heritage intertwined with their individual dreams....
