If there was going to be one annual film program unlikely to make the leap to virtual presentation, the Wexner Center for the Arts’ Cinema Revival would probably be the one, right? Their yearly celebration of the art and outcome of an industry’s painstaking efforts to find, preserve and archive film seems a misfit for […]

A handful of great movies, plus a few enjoyable throwaways, and a solid group of decent new horror flicks stream this week – just in time for the crappy weather. Nice! One Night in Miami On Amazon Prime […]

The Columbus Film Critics Association (COFCA) acknowledged their best-of in an online ceremony Thursday, January 7, and they did not find the year wanting. “Some great […]
Best Movies You Missed in 2020
December 28, 2020 2:20 pm Hope Madden
By Hope Madden and George Wolf Let’s be honest, no one saw much of anything movie-wise this year.
