Indie Prof reviews Challenger: The Final Flight
There are a few defining moments throughout history that tend to coalesce a generation around a shared experience, serve as a visceral and temporal marker, and whittle away any sense of innocence we may have left about the world.
Indie Prof: Watchmen
If you have an aversion to comic books/superheroes, put them aside and enmesh yourself in the wonderful, dense, quirky, surprising, and visually stunning “Watchmen” on HBO.
The Indie Prof: Yellowstone
I think of Yellowstone as The Godfather of the Range. The Godfather is one of the great, classic films of all time: it is not just an operatic view into a large and powerful crime family (the Corleones), it also an allegory for the American dream and the American experiment.
Indie Prof: Shirley, John Lewis: Good Trouble & Irresistable
Theaters are still closed, but movies live on. This month, I review three new releases that are all available through different online platforms, including the Denver Film Center at denverfilm.org.
Indie Prof: Spaceship Earth and Working Man
This month’s films are both independent new releases that will struggle to find audiences while theaters are shuttered.
