Words Fail: Dear Evan Hansen is a Missed Opportunity

Linda Petersen, Staff Writer October 29, 2021

I was so excited about "Dear Evan Hansen"... until I watched it. Based on the 2015 Tony-award-winning musical of the same name, "Dear Evan Hansen" chronicles the story of conflicted teenager, Evan Hansen,...

Icarus, a documentary of interesting fates, is not one to skip over.

“Icarus” is not one to miss

Piper Chase, Guest Writer May 1, 2021

“They are all doping.”  Anti-doping scientist Don Catlin states the facts plain and simple. In a modern world dominated by professional sports, athletes often use dangerous anabolic steroids to...

“Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” Not Great Success, But Still Very Nice

“Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” Not Great Success, But Still Very Nice

Sebastian Hunt, The Forum's Head Writer of Film & TV October 30, 2020

★★★½ Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, simply put, is a more ordinary film than 2006’s Borat. That’s the best comparison of the two. Instead of focusing primarily on the hysterically spontaneous...

The (Boring) Game Is Afoot In “Enola Holmes”

Sebastian Hunt, The Forum's Head Writer of Film and TV October 21, 2020

★★½ As far as late-night, not-really-paying-attention viewing goes, one could certainly do worse than Netflix’s Enola Holmes. It’s not really bad — producer/star Millie Bobby Brown is certainly...

“Onward” Isn’t Pixar Wizardry, But It’s Still Pretty Good

“Onward” Isn’t Pixar Wizardry, But It’s Still Pretty Good

Sebastian Hunt, The Forum's Head Writer of Film & TV March 8, 2020

★★★☆☆ In keeping with Pixar’s recent run of good-not-great animated outings, Onward is a charming yet overly familiar family-friendly adventure. Quality-wise, it’s roughly equal to 2013’s...

“The Call of the Wild” Barks Up The Wrong Tree

Sebastian Hunt, The Forum's Head Writer of Film & TV February 28, 2020

★★☆☆☆ A film like The Call of the Wild is built around dogs. The canine star determines the success of this type of film and its appeal (or lack thereof), which explains why Call of the Wild...

“Sonic” Satisfies

Sebastian Hunt, The Forum's Head Writer of Film & TV February 20, 2020

★★★☆☆ I try to keep an open mind for every film I see, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some I dread. Sonic the Hedgehog certainly fell in the latter camp: it looked terrible, the film...

Harley Quinn Soars In “Birds of Prey”

Sebastian Hunt, The Forum's Head Writer of Film & TV February 8, 2020

★★★☆☆ A sequel to Suicide Squad, 2016’s divisive blockbuster smash, has finally arrived in the form of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Birds of Prey...

The 2020 Academy Awards, Predicted

Sebastian Hunt, The Forum's Head Writer of Film & TV February 8, 2020

Snubs notwithstanding, the 91st Academy Awards looks exciting. The majority of the nominees are deserved, the show is thankfully hostless, and there’s no clear favorite in a number of categories. The...
