Pete’s Film Journal: What to Expect from the Oscars by Peter Sarsfield

Last month's Oscar nominations brought a few welcome surprises, with Nickel Boys receiving much-deserved recognition in Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay. However, the Academy frequently garners too many congratulations for nominating great films just to push them aside come awards night. Another surprise was I’m Still Here, which snuck into a nomination for Best Picture on top of its more expected selections in Best Internation Feature and Fernanda Torres in […]

Pete’s Film Journal: Is A24 Different from Marvel? by Peter Sarsfield

Your most annoying friend wants to go to the movies again and you already know what they want to see: an A24 Film. They’re seen as the independent film company, making less generic films with pretty images. A24 hasn’t been around for that long, founded only in 2012, but maybe they’ve earned this special reputation with 2017’s Best Picture success of Moonlight, and their reputation was further cemented with the […]

Pete’s Film Journal: Did Megalopolis Fall out of a Coconut Tree? by Peter Sarsfield

What Coppola is most known for, The Godfather, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now, are all from over forty years ago. What has he been up to since, other than the occasional film and becoming more alienated from Hollywood’s system? He has a vineyard and likes to re-edit his past films, with there always being another version of Apocalypse Now (1979, 2001, 2019) to be made. He is dissatisfied with the […]

Pete’s Film Journal: Election Season Cinema with Civil War and Transit by Peter Sarsfield

Civil War   If you’ve seen some of the news lately, you’ve likely been informed about an election this fall. And if you’ve seen any news over the last fifteen years, you’ve likely been informed about an increasingly divided nation on the brink of its self-destruction, maybe eager for civil war, making each subsequent election the most important one yet.    Whether you believe this or not is not the […]

Pete’s Film Journal: Why You Should Watch More International Films by Peter Sarsfield

This past Oscars gave me plenty to be hopeful about while it still creates further detachment from the art of film. Al Pacino stumbled in to quickly deliver Best Picture in a manner so truncated I can only appreciate it, and it wasn’t his fault. It was a fitting anticlimax for a night that left little room for surprise, as Oppenheimer was sure to claim the award because of its […]

Hypotheticals with Ty Levine: Victor Wembanyama with Curry shooting or Giannis with KD shooting

Selected as the number 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, 7’5 Victor Wembanyama is undoubtedly the most hyped up prospect since Lebron James and rightfully so. Putting up 20 points, 10 rebounds, and nearly 5 combined steals and blocks per game, he is putting together one of the best rookie seasons in NBA history. Another freak of nature, Giannis Antetokounmpo is once again a leading name in this season’s […]

PHOTO STORY: Lyn Lapid at EXIT/IN by Reilly Caldwell and Cason McFerrin-Clancy

Earlier this month, Lyn Lapid closed out her "to live in the 21st century, the epilogue" tour at Nashville's iconic EXIT/IN.   Lapid performed many new songs from her album to love in the 21st century: the epilogue, such as "east side" and "like you want me to," as well as fan favorites like "Producer Man." Fans (myself included!) were especially exited to hear Lapid's cover of Toy Story's "When She Loved Me," […]
