Aronofsky excels at creating high intensity cinematic worlds laced with mythological symbolism and horrors out of the subconscious. I watched much of Mother! through my fingers, but I was as scared to look away from the screen as I was to look at it.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind’s religious vision is striking.

Inflated dreams of fame and fortune, stemming from a genuine passion and an authentic talent, Patricia Dombrowski, better known as Killer P or Patti Cake$, is on a mission to explode onto the golden green stages of hip hop and bullet train out of her tiny New Jersey life as fast as she can.

Director Steven Soderbergh has called his film, Logan Lucky, “Ocean’s 11’s inbred cousin.”

In light of my current research on the horror genre, I am increasingly convinced that the reason we continue to see so many horror films in the twenty-first century is because they are providing the broader culture with a much-needed avenue for navigating the various traumas that seem to define much of contemporary life.

This film reminded me of my faith community and our initial reluctance to accept the other, especially if we see the other as strange or peculiar (or sinful?!). Fear reigns in many parts of the American church, especially when a character like James enters and challenges the status quo.

Step is inspiring because it shows one of America’s core myths in action - if you work hard and get a good education, you can rise from the station you were born in to a higher station.
