This masterful dark fairy tale from Guillermo del Toro takes place in 1944 and follows Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), a 10-year-old girl whose mother marries an officer in Francoist Spain. As she becomes accustomed to her new surroundings and her cruel stepfather (Sergi López), Ofelia begins to stumble upon strange clues that suggest she has a magical destiny.
Could she really be the long-lost princess of the underworld? Her frightening and fantastical adventure coincides with political espionage as rebels in her small town work against fascism. Stunning special effects make this movie memorable, while the many twists of the story make it captivating.
In an age where corporations wield more power and reality feels more subjective by the day, The Truman Show feels more relevant than ever. Jim Carrey stars as Truman Burbank, a man who is adopted from infancy by a television network and raised for his entire life on a soundstage.
When Truman begins to notice the cracks in his world, a movement begins on the outside to free him from his artificial reality, while creator/director Christof (Ed Harris) becomes more determined than ever to keep Truman in his place. Alternating between funny and philosophical, The Truman Show is a movie about what is and isn’t real and what it means to be free.
Never mind that it’s Norwegian — this film is so deeply relatable that you’ll see yourself in it even if you’ve never been further north than Michigan. It’s a romantic dramedy that follows a young student named Julie (Renate Reinsve) as she tries to figure out her life. She goes from studying medicine to photography to writing, but that’s not nearly as challenging as sticking with a decision about her love life.
Torn between comic book artist Aksel (Anders Danielsen Lie) and barista Eivind (Herbert Nordrum), Julie makes mistakes at every turn, unable to resist choices that make her feel like the worst person in the world. Director Joachim Trier blends fantasy sequences with heartbreaking realism in this funny and clever movie.
Before rom-coms and cultural satire were regularly blended together, Coming to America nailed the formula. Eddie Murphy stars as Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of the wealthy African nation of Zamunda, who travels to Queens, New York, in search of true love. Alongside his loyal aide Semmi (Arsenio Hall), Akeem trades royal riches for working-class life at a fast-food restaurant, hiding his identity as he courts Lisa (Shari Headley).
The movie remains one of Murphy’s most beloved performances, packed with sharp social commentary, laugh-out-loud gags and unforgettable supporting characters. Decades later, its charm, humor and genuine romance still hold up beautifully.
Some love stories are earnest, some are sweet and some of them are shocking. The best ones can make you laugh and cry in under two hours. If you love love, then Hulu is one of the best streaming platforms out there. Their collection of romantic comedies is always changing, but it always has great […]
Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Regina Hall and Tiffany Haddish? You don’t really need anything other than the cast list to know that this movie will rock, but it might help to know that it was written by black-ish creator Kenya Barris and his frequent collaborator Tracy Oliver. It follows four college besties (known as “the Flossy Posse”) who reunite for the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.
A weekend of debauchery goes from bad to bananas, and old resentments come out as the misadventures continue. Let’s just say there’s a scene with a grapefruit that will stick with you forever. With its blend of raunchy humor and genuine friendship, Girls Trip is one of those great modern comedies you can rewatch anytime.
