Roman Kavanagh Opinions Editor Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” (2025) is a forgiveness of sorts. A hopeful reimagining, the film both embraces and outgrows its Gothic roots. The film continues beyond the confines of the original story, to produce something that reflects how time has shaped Mary Shelley’s story into a cultural object of value to examine marginalization and the role of interpersonal connection beyond the bounds of its original framing. The science fiction f

Alana M. Carroll Art Director  A first date is, more often than not, a nerve-wracking affair. Even more so is a blind first date arranged by your younger sister.

Then, a nonhuman face appears on every screen in your vicinity, apologizing for his lack of punctuality and assuring you that he will arrive shortly for your “duel.” “You gave my information to an alien!” you sc

Micah J. Marrapodi Assistant Opinions Editor Director Joachim Rønning’s “ Tron: Ares ” hit theaters Oct. 10, 2025, and many critics—“critics” may be generous—are getting it wrong.
