My Grandma

Posted on December 11, 2020 by Joshua Klafter

My grandma is one of the strongest people I have ever known.

Posted on January 8, 2019January 8, 2019 by Joshua Klafter

As personally eventful of a year as 2018 was for me, I found it surprisingly slow for the medium of film. Sure, by having MoviePass at the dawn of the year, and AMC Stubs A-List at its close, I was seeing movies more prolifically than ever before. However, films that truly stood out were few…

Posted on October 16, 2018January 8, 2019 by Joshua Klafter

Somehow Sony managed to craft another studio-spliced Amazing Spider-Man movie without the titular character.
