About Craig Ellison

Craig Ellison has been writing about entertainment for nearly a decade — from college newspapers to major film publications. His work focuses on adult animation (Futurama, Solar Opposites), video game adaptations (Castlevania: Nocturne), dark fantasy (Jujutsu Kaisen, Daemons of the Shadow Realm), and horror (Mike Flanagan, John Carpenter's The Thing, and anything A24 touches).

Before shifting fully into entertainment, Craig spent over six years as a baseball writer, publishing weekly articles across multiple outlets. That sports background gave him an unusual but useful skill: he treats streaming rankings, IMDb scores, and release schedules like a box score — with healthy skepticism and a soft spot for the underdog.

Craig got his start in student journalism at Illinois Valley Community College (writing for The IV Leader) before transferring to Eureka College on the Stephen W. Rigazio scholarship. At Eureka, he wrote for The Pegasus, covering everything from campus happenings to politics — including the 2020 election and Palestine. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's in Communication.

Why trust his reviews: Craig watches everything he covers. No second-hand takes. No fluff. Just honest opinions from someone who has spent nearly a decade writing professionally about film, TV, and animation.

Craig writes for CineCorner independently. All views are his own.

What happens at the end of The Great Gatsby — how it ends for Gatsby, Daisy, and Nick
There are two Great Gatsbys most people know: F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel and Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film with Leonardo DiCaprio. They end with the same deaths — but the film changes how Gatsby dies, who mourns him, and what happens to Nick. Here's how both versions play out.

Worst Neighbor Ever: who died in the Netflix docuseries, broken down by episode

What happens at the end of Fury?
War films usually end with liberation, a homecoming, or at least a sunrise. David Ayer's Fury, the 2014 Second World War drama starring Brad Pitt, ends with a disabled tank at a muddy crossroads, one survivor, and a field of bodies — and its final minutes carry the film's entire argument.

What happens at the end of Dune 2? The 'chosen one' ending isn't what you think
Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two, released in March 2024, closes with Paul Atreides getting everything a chosen one is supposed to get — the throne, the bride, the adoring army. Except the film wants you to feel sick about it, not thrilled. That final stretch is a coronation shot like a tragedy, and it's entirely deliberate.
