‘Millers in Marriage’ Proves Hollywood Needs More Movies About Midlife

02.17.2025 | By |

For those who grew up in the ’90s film scene, Edward Burns was a defining indie voice. His films, The Brothers McMullen and Sidewalks of New York, shaped my teenage understanding that in relationships, love alone isn’t enough, it takes work. Eventually, Burns shifted to acting and directed less, making only two movies in the last 15 years. One of them is his latest, Millers in Marriage, a story of love, fidelity, and reinvention in midlife. Read More

Are Conclave and Heretic Reviving An Interest In Religion?

12.19.2024 | By |

Recently, my wife and I watched two films that center on religion: Conclave and Heretic.

I say this because, frankly, religion is a topic most people want to avoid. So when two critically acclaimed films about religion arrive at the same moment, igniting awards chatter and cultural debates, it raises a compelling question: Is religion making a comeback, or is it transforming into something new?

Selena Gomez: The Invisible Latina Billionaire

09.17.2024 | By |

In a year when the economy has had many of us on edge, Selena Gomez, 32, recently became the first Latina self-made billionaire in America. This monumental achievement, largely due to her beauty brand Rare Beauty, should have been a major celebration.
