by Rob Brezsny September 10, 2025September 2, 2025

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Basenji is a dog breed that doesn’t bark. Instead, it produces an eerie, melodic yodel called a baroo. This oddity isn’t a flaw or drawback; it’s an interesting uniqueness.

Spike Lee, Darren Aronofky and a war of the Roses

by Jared Rasic September 10, 2025September 7, 2025

When Good Directors Make Bad Movies

Ethan Coen and Ron Howard fail to evolve with “Eden” or “Honey Don’t”

by Jared Rasic September 3, 2025August 31, 2025

I would never make a ridiculous statement like Ron Howard and the Coen Bros. are remotely in the same league as filmmakers, but I also think Howard isn’t necessarily accorded the respect he deserves from his nearly 50 years a director.
