Pretty much anybody can cosplay — you just assemble a costume based on one of your favorite pop culture characters and, well ... wear it. And perhaps roleplay the character. But it takes another level of enthusiasm to not only cosplay a character, but also do volunteer work in the process.
That’s exactly what 4 Corners...
With the announcement that some movie theaters have now officially been given legal approval to re-open in California, it would appear that this summer may end up having a few new blockbuster releases if we’re lucky. There are still a ton of film premieres that have been pushed back rather than rolling out on “home theater”...
If you haven’t been watching the HBO documentary series “We’re Here,” you’ve been missing out on a significant representation of Four Corners-area people and places.
The show follows former “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestants Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara, and Shangela as they travel across the United States recruiting...
Quarantine has been a great time to watch cooking shows. After all, cooking and binge-watching television are easily two of the best stay-at-home activities. Especially if you can pry yourself away from the latter to do the former ... before returning to the latter, food in hand.
The release of Netflix’s Cooked with...
Six years after the world and film history were exposed to, and reminded of, one of Hollywood’s best kept secrets — the life and career of screenwriter Charles Bennett — the man himself is the subject of a two-volume follow-up to his posthumous autobiography: “The Rise of the Modern Thriller.”
Published originally in...
Culturally and politically, some groups in this country want a return to the way things were in the mid-20th century. This definitely isn’t the forum to talk about that, but there is one thing that I think most of us can agree would make America great again if they were brought back: drive-in movie theaters.
As someone...
As if it hasn’t already been said enough these past two months, one of many unprecedented firsts to come out of the coronavirus pandemic is the loss of theatrical movie releases — meaning most movies are postponed indefinitely.
Traditionally, the summer movie season starts at the beginning of May and we would have had...
Living in the Four Corners, it’s easy to take the view for granted — especially the one right above us when the sun sets. But living more than a mile above sea level, in a place where it’s easy to get away from the lights of civilization, makes for great stargazing.
Tory Dawson, though, is well aware of that fact. The...
Along with all the other myriad events disrupted by the COVID-19 epidemic, the rest of 2020 seems iffy for film festivals. While a lot of us miss going out to see new movies, I doubt many of us are in any hurry to pack into a crowded theater, even when they reopen.
Since March, more than 175 festivals have been...
For someone as synonymous with 1970s pop culture iconology as Ali MacGraw, it’s always surprising to recall that she only starred in three classic films. And those three films were basically the only hits throughout her film career. Of course, this suddenly starts making sense when you learn that MacGraw was originally a...
We’ve been sitting on the couch playing video games a bit more this season for, well ... obvious reasons. But they haven’t been as relaxing as we thought they would be — at least for us, anyway.
Something about running through the T-Virus-infected streets of Raccoon City in Resident Evil 3 lands a little too close to...
The Stillhouse Junkies, a Durango-based roots band, was supposed to be wrapping up a tour of Great Britain and touring the U.S. right now, but a certain virus had other ideas. Unable to have a show with a live, in-person audience, the band held an online show early on in the pandemic via Facebook Live. Now they have a better,...
