Film Review: ‘A Good Person’ Sees Zach Braff’s Filmmaking Take On a Heartbreaking and Moving New Dimension
Zach Braff as a filmmaker has proven to be a storyteller I deeply respond to. Garden State and Wish I Was Here are brilliantly effective quirky dramedies, establishing his specific voice. I even really enjoyed his remake of Going in Style, which he only directed, as opposed to writing and directing his other features. Now, […] More

Awards Radar Community: Which Oscar Nominated Film That Went Home Empty-Handed Do You Like Best?
If you happen to check the home page of Awards Radar, earlier in the week I updated the poll we feature on the right side. It hadn’t been updated since Oscar nominations, since it was a fairly evergreen poll. Now, however, it’s been replaced with a brand new one. It’s Academy Award related, of course, […] More

Film Review: ‘The Lost King’ is a Low-Key Dramatization of a Fascinating True Story
Watching a true story depicted in cinema that you’re completely unaware of doesn’t happen too often. Most of the time, a biopic or a biographical drama is trafficking in a person or a story you’re at least somewhat knowledgable about.. Thats part of why the genre can wear thin on some. With The Lost King, […] More

The Sunday Scaries are upon us once again! Yes, as the weekend concludes, most of us feel an oncoming sense of anticipatory dread about the week ahead. 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

Awards Radar Community: How Do This Year’s Oscar Winners Compare to Last Year’s?
As I prepare to kick off my rankings of the Top 25 winners of each Oscar category (probably next month), I thought I would put recent history up for debate. Namely, last year’s Academy Award winners against this year’s. Hell, we can include the year before’s too, if you’d like. So, this week’s Awards Radar […] More

The Highlights, Lowlights, and Surprises from the 95th Academy Awards
As we continue to decompress from Oscar night, I always feel like now is the best point to really think about the show itself. In the immediate aftermath, a lot of focus is on the winners, and rightly so. Now, however, you can more effectively ponder them in conjunction with the ceremony itself. So, that’s […] More

Film Review: ‘Boston Strangler’ is a Competent Look at How Incompetence Assisted a Serial Killer
I love a good procedural. Whether it’s cops or the FBI catching a serial killer, investigative journalists on the hunt for the truth, or sometimes a merging of both, the genre is just inherently watchable. There are bad ones, of course, but even a decent one is enjoyable. At the same time, when one is […] More

Film Review: ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ Never Forgets to Have Fun
The Shazam! franchise stands out from the superhero pack, and especially the DC lot. Big meets Superman always was a good hook, and the first film, Shazam!, did it very well. Now, we have the sequel in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, coming right as DC is in a period of transition. It leaves the […] More

‘The Last of Us’ Just Raised the Bar for Video Game Adaptations
I don’t watch a ton of television. Hell, I play more video games than have TV shows I consistently watch. Normally, video game adaptations are the realm of films, often to terrible effect. So, the fact that The Last of Us was not just a show I was interested in, but considered a must-see, was […] More
