BLACK SNAKE MOAN and the Chains of Love

by Michele Eggen

I love love stories. They are the baseline for so many movies (and TV shows, songs, books, etc.) that they are hard to get away from, and, when done well, hard not to be moved by. Yet while I enjoy watching the portrayal of love onscreen in the dramatic or romantic comedy format, there’s a part of me that can’t help but scoff at its inherent fakeness. Yes, it is a beautiful and uplifting thing to watch when two people meet in a rom-com, have their whacky misadventures, and end up happily ever after together. It also still feels like the kind of thing that only happens in movies. Not real. I need true honesty in my love stories. And believe it or not, I found that honesty in perhaps the most unlikely of movies.

Guiltless Pleasures: Eurotrip

by Adam Thas

I really wish I could tell you when I first saw Eurotrip, but at this point I’ve seen it so many times that it has become a blur. It never ceases to make me laugh, it’s got great characters, great comedic timing, and what may be the greatest cameo in cinema history. The plot is absurd, but this movie bleeds absurdity, so nothing ever feels unbelievable in the world it creates. It’s one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite comedies of all time. It’s endlessly watchable and serves as a standard for how I judge other comedies. Yes, I like it that much.

by Cass Cannon

 A love letter to my favorite movie about love and loneliness.
