Mel Gibson’s unsurprisingly savage WWII film Hacksaw Ridge delivers the fiery-action goods. I was definitely impressed by the wild stunt work and some of the individual bits of action, and it’s truly lunatic/nuts of conscientious objector Desmond Doss to have done what he did in real life. The religious angle, thankfully, isn’t hit too hard…
Starring Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham as two potential love birds whose romantic date-night is cut short thanks to the alarming notification of the end of the world (nukes have been launched…!), De Jarnatt’s exciting, heartfelt, and totally unique tale of desperate romance hits all the right notes of 80’s tonal shifts and scrappy whimsy….
I was a big fan of writer/director Rian Johnson’s debut film, Brick; his follow up, The Brothers Bloom, was a bit too precious but still demonstrated tons of style and cinematic quirk. But Looper is a heady and stylish mélange of science fiction and noir with some bloody shoot-outs, numerous narrative twists and turns, and…
No Concept of Time a brand new web-series that revolves around Joe Walser and the time machine restoration team who restored the Screen-Used DeLorean from Back to the Future. Think Mark Hamill’s Pop Culture Quest fused with a Back to the Future aura and that’s what No Concept of Time is all about! It shines…
Last year, people kept saying stuff like “Paul Verhoeven is BACK with Elle!,” and yes, true, he had a new movie get released last year, and it is in fact a brilliant piece of work on multiple levels, but I’d argue that he never WENT anywhere in the first place. Hollywood simply became uninterested in…
Pitching Tents from Meritage Pictures is one of those kind of movies that completely transports you back to the classic films of old with nostalgia, heart and comedy. A film made in modern time that throws you back into those feelings you had when you first saw movies like Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Jurassic…
Hollywood Tough Guy Geoff Bell Showcases His Skills in Online Casino Ad The memory of some Hollywood celebrities lingers in the minds of moviegoers for decades. Some actors don’t mind being typecast and rise to the challenge whenever opportunity presents itself. Movie star Geoff Bell is generally regarded as a Hollywood tough guy, with memorable…
Sightseers is most likely my favorite film from Ben Wheatley so far, and that says a lot, as I’ve enjoyed all of his work. For some reason, I just can’t stop revisiting this movie; there’s something uniquely deranged about it that speaks to me and my love for satirical black comedy. However, you should only…
A nostalgic throwback to classic 80’s Horror weaving in Kubrick and Clive Barker nods but still maintaining it’s own independent heart, spirit and terror. Written and directed by Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski The Void revolves around a group of people who find themselves under siege in a hospital with an army of white robe wearing cultists surrounding the…
The Edge of Seventeen is a funny if overly familiar story of a female high school student learning to adjust to her surroundings and hormones and the changing attitudes of the people around her. Hailee Steinfeld is unsurprisingly confident as the lead character, but for me, the real discovery of the movie was Haley Lu…
The double life, normal working man by day, superhero by night fascination has gripped cinema audiences for years. To celebrate the release of Power Rangers on March 24, we’re taking a look at some of the best films that have put this hidden identities subject at the heart of their iconic characters. SUPERMAN When Clark…
Get Out is a cool, entertaining movie. I had heard a deafening chorus of hype before walking into the theater (99% at Rottentomates; $135 million in 24 days), so my expectations were very high. Writer/director Jordan Peele has crafted a nifty and witty low-budget social satire masquerading as an occasionally violent psychological thriller; comparisons to…
Don’t Knock Twice is a horror film about a mother desperate to reconnect with her troubled daughter who then becomes embroiled in the urban legend of a demonic witch. This Horror film throws you through every single genre and moves a Horror movie can make you experience. Throughout the entire movie you are questioning…
A film that strips away any narrative pretense and bloat, favoring classical and exquisitely shot and cut fight sequences with a terse screenplay (written by Soderbergh frenemy Lem Dobbs) that only divulges exactly what you need to know and nothing more. Gina Carano, a former MMA star, isn’t a particularly expressive or emotive screen presence,…
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is two weeks away from DVD and Blu Ray release and I for one am not in the slightest bit interested. Heaps upon heaps of 5-star reviews and quotes claiming the movie is equal if not better than Harry Potter is the kind of bias bullshit i’m used…
I very much enjoyed last year’s much-derided thriller The Girl on the Train. It’s not the best movie I’ve ever seen, and it’s hardly the worst. I like a good, steamy, erotic thriller, the types of movies that used to be original screenplay spec sales back in the 90’s. But nowadays, these genre thrillers are…
