One Night in Miami Review: Regina King’s Triumphant Directorial Debut

It’s a strange sight. Fresh off witnessing his pal Cassius Clay become the heavyweight champion of the world, soul singer Sam Cooke sits alone in his room. Actually, it’s a motel space Malcolm X has rented out for Cooke and several other Black luminaries at the center of 1960s American culture, but Cooke is the first one to arrive… and he looks more comfortable here by himself, finding peace while strumming a guitar, than moments earlier when he stood in the ring with Clay, holding hands up after the new champ’s TKO victory over Sonny Liston. But then that is…

NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 3 Review: The Night Road

This NOS4A2 review contains spoilers. NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 3 One thing that NOS4A2 did between seasons is tinker with its special effects. For whatever reason, Charlie Manx as an old man looks a little better than he did the previous season (and the exaggerated widow’s peak he had when he was young Charlie has been eliminated, too). All across the board, it seems, the special effects seem to be coming across the screen better, from the blood and guts of previous episodes to things like the scarred-up ghost living in the Manx house on the outskirts of the Manx…

The Vast of Night and the Dawn of UFO Mythology

This article is presented by: The opening scene of The Vast of Night, a new science fiction film now streaming on Amazon Prime, wears its influences on its sleeve. While it doesn’t mention The Twilight Zone by name, the film begins with a static-bedeviled television being watched in the middle of the day, like the memory of a late ‘50s childhood half-forgotten. The story you’re about to see, explains a disembodied voice, is a trip into “Paradox Theatre.” This show-within-a-movie might be fictional, but the moment it represents in science fiction and American culture is not. Set in the twilight…

The Vast Of Night Ending Explained

Smart indie sci-fi and love letter to ‘50 sci-fi B-movie The Vast Of Night has arrived on Amazon Prime after touring the festival circuit. It’s a clever film-within-a-film that’s framed as an episode of fictional Twilight Zone-style anthology ‘Paradox Theater’ which plays with genre tropes, as fast-talking DJ Everett (Jake Horowitz) and perky switchboard operator Fay (Sierra McCormick) attempt to solve the mystery surrounding a rogue audio broadcast they discover the night of the town’s big basketball game. But what actually went down and where are we left at the end? Or indeed, “What’s the tale, Nightingale?” as Everett might…

The Vast Of Night Review – a Retro Sci-Fi Gem

An indie sci-fi, reportedly rejected by 18 film festivals before it landed the audience award at Slamdance in 2019, The Vast of Night is the latest buzzy release to be picked up by Amazon Prime. The buzz is justified. Set in a small town in New Mexico and taking place over a single night, The Vast of Night is ‘50s set sci-fi in the spirit of cold war classics like The Blob and Invasion of The Body Snatchers, with a modern twist and an extra meta-layer.  A film within a film, The Vast of Night is framed as an episode…
