Indie Prof

The film this month in our Cube Cinema Series is “Singin’ in the Rain” (1952) plus one review from a recent international film and one quick bit on a TV show.

Fall arrives this month and the best movies of the year will soon fill our theaters. Over the coming months—some call it “Awards Season,” but I just call it “Movie Season”.

This month’s review is a family-friendly film that will no doubt become a favorite for many years to come.

I give you two reviews that may seem incongruous at first, yet both tell us something about our world today in different ways. We can learn a great deal from each. 

This is the slow time of the year for film releases—the good films, anyway—so I’ll go back and review some of last year’s best films. Here are two that were (deservedly) nominated for Best International Feature at this year’s Oscars.

The “Noir Nights” series continues this month on May 10—an encore from Alfred Hitchcock, “Shadow of a Doubt.” And Sundance is coming! You may have heard that the venerable Utah-based film festival is now moving to Boulder starting in 2027.

This month Indie Prof reviews “Nickel Boys,” one of the more innovative films to come around in a while and “I’m Still Here,” winner of the Best International Feature Film at the 2025 Oscars.

It is Oscar time, and it is quite the interesting year with a wide-open field. We also bring you a Spring Cinema Series at The Cube: Noir Nights, beginning in late March.

I review two films—one is a remarkable story about spirit, and the other is about fighting and healing.

A founding principle of this column is that I review films you may not see reviewed in other...

Here are a few films that didn’t get the attention they deserved during the year. These are two smaller films that will both delight and move you—two things that we sorely need in our world right now. There is even a great deal of humor in them, something I don’t cover all that much in these pages. We need that now as well.
