For most of the running time of Relay, we’re watching a real throwback sort of film. The paranoid thriller of the 1970s was of a specific time period, one that fit it perfectly, but it also just makes for an incredibly engaging experience when done well. This movie is very much indebted to that, albeit […] More
Undercover crime stories are almost always dealt with in a dramatic manner on screen. Whether they’re action movies or straight crime dramas, laughs do tend to be at a premium. So, to see Deep Cover not only go for the laughs, but to be deeply silly about it, does give it a distinctive nature. Does […] More
True life dramas often have a lot of goodwill in their favor when telling these stories. The one thing a film like Tow has to avoid? They can’t make these tales of tragedy and triumph into poverty porn. If the movie appears to be wallowing, it can seem hollow. Luckily, this flick has such a […] More
Grief is a funny thing. How one processes a loss really varies from person to person. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve, after all. Personally? I used dark humor a lot when I dealt with the sudden loss of my mother a few years ago. So, I completely relate to what Marc Maron […] More
Sushi is not just a cuisine, it’s truly an art form. I came to sushi in college, so I’m a late bloomer, but it’s one of my absolute favorite meals. The appreciation of a perfectly done bit of sashimi, for example, is like few other things. So, I already went into Nobu ready to vibe […] More

Portraying the lives of a young couple from opposite sides of Puerto Rico’s socioeconomic divide, the film explores the underseen far-flung corners of the island to examine […] More
There is no question that rapper turned filmmaker Logic loves Kevin Smith. One only has to watch a few frames of Paradise Records to see the Clerks influence. The visual language of the film is very Smith-coded, with Clerks homaged on numerous occasions, from a cameo all the way to the “if you plan to […] More

Anxiety about work manifests itself into a feeling that’s known as the Sunday Scaries. However, we at Awards Radar are here to combat that, by taking back the […] More
It’s Tribeca Festival time! Yes, the 2025 incarnation of Tribeca is getting underway this week for press like yours truly, with both in person and virtual screenings (plus, as always, perhaps some things I may have links for).

It’s a two part HBO original documentary about the legendary musician. You can see more in a press release below, but Tribeca kicks […] More
Tim Blake Nelson is one of our best character actors. I previously spoke to the man here about his riveting turn in Old Henry, and now at the 2024 Tribeca Festival, he has Bang Bang, another terrific showcase. Not only is he a master at his craft, he’s a fascinating man to talk to. Besides […] More
