The film Christopher Nolan was adamant would save cinema is well, a bit pants. Warner Bros plunged a staggering amount of money…

Nick Clement brings us his Sweetgrass documentary review on Back to the Movies. Sweetgrass is one of the most beguiling documentaries I’ve ever encountered, a piece of visual anthropology that I can’t compare to anything else. It’s a slice of work that will likely alienate most viewers, but for those with patience and an interest…

Rosamund Pike stuns as scientist Marie Curie in the structurally-challenged Radioactive that overcomes uneven storytelling for a fascinating look at the subject’s genius. Take a look at Joe Peltzer’s Radioactive Review.  Grounded in the late 1800s/early 1900s, the film follows Marie Curie (Rosamund Pike) as she discovers the radioactivity of elements and their possible uses…

Though intriguing and action-packed, the film is a bloated imbalance of heavy storytelling and fight montages that never seem to find a way to coexist. When a pharmaceutical titan (Harry Melling) sets his sites…

Palm Springs is a breath of fresh air due to fantastic performance from its two leads and an incredibly intriguing original story. When Sarah (Cristin Milioti) meets Nyles (Andy Samberg) at a Palm…
