I’m a huge fan of erotic thrillers, and Jane Campion’s absurdly sexy and nearly overwhelmingly stylish neo-noir In the Cut is a film that I watch nearly once a year, so as to be reminded of that filmmaker’s intense sense of craft, mood, and tone, and because, well, Meg Ryan absolutely steams up the screen…

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is my favorite film by Steven Spielberg. This movie makes me smile during every single second of its running time. It simultaneously scared the crap out of me as a kid and filled me with an overwhelming sense of wonder, and it has never left my imagination since the…
Candy, released in 1968, is a completely crazy little film that offers up so many odd-ball surprises that it’s nearly impossible to describe the bizarre culmination of all of its psychedelic pieces. Directed by prolific actor Christian Marquand and adapted by the brilliant Buck Henry from the 1958 novel of the same name by Terry…

I was so ready for a hug and to see some smiles from my 20 month old son after viewing Kathryn Bigelow’s devastating and purposefully harrowing docudrama Detroit. Working again with screenwriter Mark Boal (they previously created the one-two punch of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, which are two of the best topical…
Being a 90’s kid I grew up watching Power Rangers. I was obsessed with it and even went and had power ranger gloves for Christmas. To my brothers regret as a right hook caught him right across the face about five seconds after I put them on, all caught on a video tape I still…

It has been two years since I attended Showmasters and one quick type of Showmasters into Google and my review ‘The Showmasters Shambles‘ isn’t far behind. 2015 was probably the worst con experience of my entire life. I completely avoided the 2016 Showmasters convention because of the experience the year before. I heard major improvements…
The Savages is one of those dark comedies which nails a perfect balance between sad and funny, but make no mistake, at times, this is a painful movie to view, as it examines the loss of a parent’s faculties in an upfront and explicit manner. Why has it taken writer/director Tamara Jenkins (Slums of Beverly…
Ridley Scott’s iconic sci-fi classic Blade Runner is one of those motion pictures where its legacy and lore nearly outweigh the finished product itself. Notice I said nearly. This is an all-consuming piece of cinematic art, a film that blew my mind open as a kid, and has continued to haunt and fascinate me as…
Horror fans rejoice as it look as thou IT will be on the screen for longer than we originally imagined. The runtime of the movie has been kept under wraps and with our usual horror film lasting around 90 minutes it would be safe to assume IT was similar in it’s length. But no. We…
