The Romantic Comedy Is Coming Back From The Dead – Here’s How It Can Stay Alive For Good By Jamie Jirak/Aug. 17, 2018 8:00 am EST Romantic comedies have been a storytelling staple ever since Shakespeare introduced the world to Benedick and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, but the genre really found its footing in film with It Happened One Night in 1934.

‘Hardcore Henry’ Is Unlike Anything You’ve Seen Before, For Better And Worse [SXSW Review] By Jacob Hall/March 14, 2016 4:30 pm EST Hardcore Henry is less of a movie and more of a 95-minute assault on good taste, a bloody theme park ride in filmic clothing, and/or the gruesome collision of the video gaming and cinematic languages. It’s a singular experience that’s truly unlike any other movie, and for some viewers, it will still be, understandably, one film of its kind too many....

Anyclip Launches Without Clips, But With Lots Of Quotes For Movie Lovers By Devindra Hardawar/March 26, 2010 3:00 am EST Last September I wrote about the very ambitious startup Anyclip, which at the time aimed to let you find a clip of “any moment from any film ever made.” The site was in beta for some time, and it finally launched a few weeks ago.
