You’ll know within the first few minutes of the impossible to completely describe and classify film Hard To Be A God if you’re going to make it through all three hours of this carnival of cinematic madness. In production for 13 years with director Aleksei German passing away before the film could be fully completed…
Ted is back in the sequel that no-one was particularly begging for, as its distinctly average figures at the US Box Office will attest. Sharing the meandering style of plot, Seth MacFarlane’s follow-up is even less consistent than its predecessor, weakly structured across nearly 2 hours of run time. To call the narrative “thin” is…
The insane German import Wetlands is singular, gross, nauseating, highly sexual, strange, lovely, smart, insane, icky, depraved, uber-graphic, and sort of monumental. It’s never, ever going to be remade for American audiences and it’s likely to appeal strictly to fans of “cinema-as-art.” I’ve never seen anything remotely like it. You get to see a POV…
The End of the Tour focuses on a long weekend in the life of deceased author David Foster Wallace, whose 1996 novel, Infinite Jest, became a literary sensation and cultural touchstone for an entire generation. Bolstered by two terrific performances by Jason Segel (as Wallace) and Jesse Eisenberg (as then Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky),…
I’m always wholly fascinated by this film, and it’s something I feel that’s worth revisiting every year because of how it uses aesthetics to drive the plot. Boarding Gate is genre-hopper Olivier Assayas (Carlos, Summer Hours, Irma Vep) doing a sort-of Michael Mann-esque anti-thriller that’s more cerebral than crammed with action. It’s the kind of…
Credit must be given to director Reed Morano with her feature film debut Meadowland – she’s taken incredibly dark and troubling material and turned it into an inherently compelling, extremely raw, and often times painful cinematic experience, one that’s wholly engrossing, but that will test the strength of most viewers. Given that the film is…
Despite the smooth polish of its trailers and the flashy on-set stills teased through the Summer, Spectre has been a production mired in difficulties and put together more hastily than you’d imagine considering its mammoth budget (estimated at $300-$350 million, the second most expensive film ever made). Filming commenced in December 2014 during the height…
It’s like Superbad with zombies! If a zombie apocolypse had taken over the movie Superbad and thrown in a few scouts then it would of created this wonderfully addicitive Horror Comedy. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse revolves around three scouts, on the eve of their last camp-out who discover that a zombie virus has…
Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies is a good story that’s well told, thoroughly absorbing, and spectacular in terms of production values. Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance are wonderful, with the latter putting on a subtle acting clinic for the ages, and the former reminding us how consistently excellent he is as our American everyman. The…

Following the success of Wild, Reese Witherspoon’s introspective expedition along the Pacific Crest Trail, there was an excitement surrounding the long-awaited release of A Walk In The Woods. Producer and star Robert Redford has been working for a decade to bring Bill Bryson’s 1998 memoir to the screen, finally attaching co-star Nick Nolte and director…
A famed mountaineer once said “Mountains are not fair or unfair, they are just dangerous” and there are few more perilous than the King of the Seven Summits, Mount Everest. Baltasar Kormákur’s new film takes audiences back almost 20 years to the fateful events that would later become known as the 1996 Mount Everest disaster;…
