Will Sorg – Movies Guy Fame and its effects on people seem to be one of humanity’s great interests. When it comes to movies, it seems that we are especially fond of the stories surrounding musical legends. A movie about the life of a rock star has been done so many times that there is even the hilarious parody film Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox … Continue reading Movies From Swank: Rocketman
Will Sorg – Movies Guy This last weekend saw the theatrical opening of Renfield. The horror action-comedy takes the characters of Dracula and his servant R.M. Renfield and recontextualizes them in the modern day as a toxic, codependent relationship. The film is a flop; it is being absolutely ripped to pieces at the box office. It was released only a few weeks after Super Mario … Continue reading Renfield: Nicolas Cage vs. Nicholas
Will Sorg – Movie Guy This is not the worst movie I have ever seen. It is certainly the only movie I have gotten paid to review that I would describe as utterly worthless, devoid of all passion, and genuinely garbage, but it is not the worst movie I have ever seen. Let me take you back to a simpler time. You remember the I … Continue reading The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa: Abject Suffering In Movie Form
Will Sorg – Movie Guy Joe Wright’s 2005 adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice is one of the few period piece films from the 21st century that perfectly continue the legacy of its forebears. The film is built on the foundation of the lavish period pieces of the 20th century. Grand epics like Bondarchuk’s War and Peace or Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon … Continue reading Movies From The Library: Pride and Prejudice
Will Sorg – Movies Guy Crimes of The Future: David Cronenberg’s newest film is a criminally underseen film that questions humankind’s relationship to our environment and provides horrifying commentary on what our society may collapse into if we continue to damage the earth. It is not something I would recommend to most people, but if you like body horror, no one does it better than … Continue reading Top Ten Movies of 2022
Will Sorg – Movies Guy This is my first published article covering the Oscars. I wrote one last year but it ended up being derailed by Will Smith and I was unsatisfied with the final product so I did not publish it. Seeing as Jimmy Kimmel already made about five or six unfunny jokes relating to last year’s big incident I will now never bring … Continue reading The 95th Academy Awards
Will Sorg – Movies Guy The Oscars are this weekend, and in terms of nominations, it’s a great year with a lot of solid movies up for awards including the always contentious best picture. Besides 2016’s Moonlight win that was undercut by accidentally announcing La La Land, there hasn’t been a best picture winner in recent years with as much controversy as the 2018 film … Continue reading Movies From Swank: Green Book
Will Sorg – Movie Guy In 1927, for the first time in America, it was possible for the average person to go to a movie and not only see what was happening on screen, but hear it as well. Early talking films were rough, awkward, and gimmicky, but that did not matter to audiences. Talking films immersed audience members even more deeply into the experience … Continue reading Movies From The Library: Singin’ in The Rain
Will Sorg – Movies Guy Danish Filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn is a provocateur. Refn, who has recently started being referred to in his work as NWR, is well known for his harsh stylistic tendencies. He has made slow-paced, ultraviolet, neon-colored, nihilistic films his trademark. It seems that with each new project he works on, he tries to push the boundaries of what can be seen … Continue reading Copenhagen Cowboy: A TV show for crazy people
Will Sorg – Movie Guy Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s cannibal, coming of age, romance, road trip, horror, drama Bones and All is just as chaotically layered as this description implies. The film follows Maren, played by Taylor Russel, as she travels through the American countryside. Maren is an “Eater,” someone who is a compulsive cannibal unable to control her desire for human flesh. Maren meets … Continue reading Movies From Swank: Bones and All
