GUEST EDITORIAL: Why "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" is a Sentimental Favorite

When you ask people what Christmas movie is their favorite, the answers are usually split into two categories. There is the group that gushes about the classic films that focus on Christmas spirit and family values and the group that raves about edgier, irreverent movies that often embrace a darker vibe. There's not a lot of crossover between these two groups and each one often adopts a bit of a judgmental attitude towards the choices of the others' Christmas fare.

by Lewis Robinson

Who hasn't aspired to be more like a character they've seen in a movie? Some of us want to be Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Others want to be John Wayne in "The Searchers." Or maybe we want to be Iron Man from "The Avengers." While these are all fun fantasies, most of us won't be stylish socialites, cowboys, or superheroes. On the other hand, most of us do work for managers, and many of us want to work our way up. While Hollywood has created some negative caricatures of business leaders, there are examples of exceptional managers in film.

GUEST COLUMN: Taking Another Look at 2013's "The Great Gatsby"

by Devin Caldwell

Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in the 1920s, "The Great Gatsby" is regarded as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, if not the greatest American novel of all time. Once its artificially extended copyright protection ran out at the end of 2020, people were clamoring for a new film adaptation. In fact, there had already been such an adaptation in 2013, before the copyright protection ran out. Australian director and producer Baz Luhrmann originally made a name for himself in the United States with "Moulin Rouge!" a glitzy, stylized story set in 1900s' France with contemporary music.
