Fashion, passion, and 2 assassins: the outlandish love story of Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci

When a friend of mine told me House of Gucci was “over-the-top”, I knew I had to see it right away. Because that is what Gucci is—if a movie telling me the story about one of the most sought-after luxury brands in history and the crazy…

There are still tickets left for the Cedar Lee INTO THE BOTTLE screening on April 17th

If there’s two things I love most, it’s a glass of really good wine and the city of Cleveland. BONUS: both together, happening at the very same time. Luckily for Cleveland locals, they have a chance to experience a wine-filled evening of INTO THE BOTTLE—the second…

TRAINWRECK review: LBJ makes Hollywood movie debut, Schumer writes/stars in the funniest comedy of the summer directed by Judd Apatow

Before going into Trainwreck I of course knew that Amy Schumer was going to kill it because that’s just what she does, everything we love (and more, somehow). But Trainwreck isn’t just a story about a 30-something girl who gets it in every other night and…

The inevitable Top 10 of 2014: Loop’s top movie picks

This year was weird. I cannot explain why exactly (maybe Mama had something to do with it?), but 2014 was a weird (and I guess at times wonderful) year for movies. A lotta dumb busts, but a lot of incredible features that made up for whatever Hollywood…

Free the Nipple: decriminalizing the female body with a topless revolt

Let’s face it: it’s not fair that we have these boundaries put up for our bodies. Society has us all living in these separate gender boxes of what we’re “supposed” to do as a lady, as a man. And what’s the difference if I see…
