Editor's Note: The sale of the local daily paper is... complicated

Long story short, the local daily paper — which had been family-owned and Georgia-based under one banner or another since 1850 — will be an asset owned by a company based far away from Savannah itself.

Oh hell no, Savannah isn’t ‘the next Brooklyn’

Who are these locals who have “long complained about the dearth of luxury accommodations” here and how can we help them build a new hotel in their front yard?

Dead to me

It’s been a minute since I went full hippie, but I pulled out the patchwork prairie skirt and rode with the old man to the Regal Cinemas Savannah 10 on Shawnee Street to find steal-your-face bumper stickers aplenty.

Shandy-licious!

The fun thing about shandys is that you can make them at home. Typically you see a 50/50 mix of beer and soda, but at home you can mix and match your beers, sodas and proportions until you find that perfect mix.

Review: Logan Lucky

Review: Logan Lucky

There are precious few characters who don’t look and sound like they just got back from molesting Ned Beatty alongside the Georgia river.

Review: Step

More straightforward than many other documentaries about kids in competition, Step isn’t as richly detailed or narratively mutable as something like Hoop Dreams or Spellbound.

By Matt Brunson
Review: The Dark Tower

Stripped of dramatic heft, the film mainly plays like the YA-sanctioned adventures of a young boy who gets to hang out with a gunslinger and fight a wicked sorcerer

By Matt Brunson
Review: Atomic Blonde

The sort of movie in which nothing is as it seems, with a full menu of double-crosses, triple-crosses, false identities, and startling character revelations.

By Matt Brunson
Review: Dunkirk

To suggest that Dunkirk is a movie lacking in emotion because it’s lacking in sharply etched players is incorrect. Director Christopher Nolan’s strength here is his ability to place audiences right into the thick of the various struggles taking place by air, land and sea.

By Matt Brunson
Review: War For The Planet Of The Apes

Andy Serkis again excels in the role that arguably will surpass Gollum as his most iconic.
