Everything about Slant Magazine totally explained
Slant Magazine is an online publication that features reviews of movies, music, DVDs and TV shows, as well as interviews with actors, directors and musicians.
Roger Ebert has called co-publisher and film editor Ed Gonzalez a "critic I admire" because of his "forcible writing style." The site, launched in 2001, frequently covers
film festivals like the
New York Film Festival.
Style & Attitude
Slant's music section originally focused very heavily on pop music but in recent years more indie-oriented music, including country, has been heavily reviewed on the site.
Both the film and music sections are very vocal about their contempt for
Hilary Duff.
Since the
Iraq War began, the editorial content has gotten more political, but the focus remains on entertainment.
Slant in the Media
In a recent article,
The New York Times called Slant "a repository of passionate and often prickly pop-cultural analysis." Slant's reviews have often been the source of debate and discourse online and in the media: Ed Gonzalez's review of Kevin Gage's 2005 film
Chaos sparked some debate when
Roger Ebert quoted Gonzalez in review of the film in the
Chicago Sun-Times; The
New York Press quoted another Slant writer, Keith Uhlich, in a review of the
Michael Bay film
The Island; and Gonzalez, who writes regularly for
The Village Voice film section, was recently praised by former Voice critic Nathan Lee for his attention to politics and pop culture in a lively and interesting way.
