Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic A distressingly large number of first-time American indie films focus on coming-of-age stories. In cases where the director is gay, there’s a good chance said that first feature will be a coming-of-age/coming-out story. What else should we expect? The directors haven’t been on earth all that long, and they write what they know, or else, what they’ve seen in other movies. That said, “Big Boys” surprised me. Corey Sherman’s deliciously uncomfortable debut features a lot of the usual ingredients: a misfit teenage protagonist, a transformative couple days (in this case, a “cousins’ camping trip” to Lake Arrowhead), a series of embarrassing but life-altering experiences. But I hadn’t seen anyone like his main character at the center of a movie before and loved how awkwardly this kid navigates trying to figure himself out.

Whitney Friedlander We’re in a new age of comedy thanks to diversification by brick-and-mortar clubs and social media, which has leveled the playing field for talent. There is not, however, a direct correlation to a comedian’s viral success online and that person’s ability to land a spot on a comedy club’s mainstage. Erin von Schonfeldt, the exec VP of programming for Improv Comedy Club owners Levity Live, has booked shows for the network of clubs since 1997. “There are those, especially today given the viralness of digital media, who can find an audience from a single online clip and find initial success,” she notes. “But if you want to be a professional stand-up comedian, there’s really no substitute for working in front of live audiences, night after night, in multiple cities to build a real foundation.

Aramide Tinubu There appears to be a collective disdain toward reboots in films and television, yet, at this point, Hollywood is locked into the format. Creators are reviving some of their most precious and well-received works, but resurrecting something that meant so much to an audience during a particular moment is no small feat. Of course, there have been successful attempts, such as the TV adaptation of the film “Fargo,” and the revivals of “Twin Peaks” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”  Other efforts like “Charlie’s Angels” and “Heroes Reborn” should have been left in the vault, especially since streaming has made original series more readily accessible to fans. Still, as much as audiences, fans and critics have begged for more originality, when a reboot is done well, it is a wholly enjoyable viewing experience.
