Cinema has long been obsessed with the concept of machines that can think, feel and one day be indistinguishable from their creators. When done correctly, artificial intelligence as a cinematic device can serve as a perfect mirror for human anxiety, ambition and existential dread; at its worst, it’s a goofy stab at speculative fear-mongering, nervously […]
I know it can be one of the most basic things in the world to talk about geography, but bear with me for a second because I’m trying to paint a picture and you must consider the scenery. If you’ve ever driven north on Highway 97 between Bend and Madras, you know the dramatic shift […]

Toy Story 5 is another reminder that growing up hurts.
I’ll be perfectly honest with you right now. The hardest I’ve ever cried in a movie theater was at the end of “Toy Story 3.” Rewatching it to prepare for the release of “Toy Story 5,” I figured it wouldn’t wreck me as badly as it did 16 years ago. I thought I was an […]

The moment casting choices were announced for Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” Earth’s first trillionaire tweeted that the filmmaker had “lost his integrity” by casting Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy.

I mean, those feats are certainly impressive, but what makes Spider-Man the absolute best is his […]

I’m not sure if everyone feels this way, but as much as I love going to the theater to watch new movies, my social battery is sometimes completely exhausted by
With the release of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” on July 31, we have officially left behind the Summer Blockbuster season and are now entering that nebulous August/September space where studios and streamers throw everything at the multiplex wall just to see what sticks. It’s not quite prestige, Oscar-bait season yet, so whatever movies you end […]
If I had to name the one food concept in Bend that is consistently phenomenal yet criminally underrated, it would be Alebrije Oaxaca. For years, it’s been quietly serving up some of the most authentic Mexican food in the region — first from the yard at Bunk + Brew Hostel downtown and now also from […]
