It’s too good to be true, the mere notion of what Captain Chesley Sullenberger did on that particular day in January 2009, but due in large part to pure movie magic, we’re now able to get a first-hand glimpse of the terror, confusion, heroism, and stroke of miracle that took place on the Hudson River….
Pardon my French but the black comedy Cheap Thrills was f**king disgusting. And aggressively amazing. And never not fully entertaining. But fucking disgusting all the same. This is as nasty of a movie as I can think of – only strong stomachs need apply. The idea is simple: Two down on their luck guys (the…
I’ve got to say that during an opening of a movie I have never been happier seeing a couple being abducted on screen. I know it’s an indie flick and I know to always gauge my thoughts and opinions on a different scale than studio movies, but my god, what the hell was going on…
It’s too bad that the new Mel Gibson actioner Blood Father is getting buried by Lionsgate in terms of a full-on theatrical release, as it totally represents a return to ass-kicking form for star Mel Gibson, and would make for a tasty double bill with the late summer sleeper hit Hell or High Water….
If the musical biopic feels stale to you, then check out the defiantly non-traditional Born to Be Blue, which takes an impressionistic look at the troubled life of famed jazz musician Chet Baker, played by Ethan Hawke in yet another superb lead performance. Independently financed by multiple international production companies, the film was written, produced,…
Films like The Light Between Oceans are a tough and tricky task for some moviegoers, as pure, heartfelt, cinematic melodrama seems to be mostly out of fashion these days. I am not sure what some people were expecting from this visually lush, overtly sentimental, yet extremely dark film. While I would have preferred that this…
Hell or High Water is easily my second favorite movie of the year, not far behind the hard to classify gem Midnight Special. Of course Peter Berg produced (and was at one point attached to direct) this shit-kicking, dusty, Texas-set tale of brotherly love and bank robbing. It’s nothing revolutionary, but rather, underrated filmmaker David…

Check out this awesome interview with Miles Teller courtesy of NME. War Dogs opens with a damning indictment of the industry of war. Does it make you despair of modern politics? “A lot of my buddies are military and I always looked at it in terms of the sacrifice they’re making for their country or…
Afternoon Delight is a sweet little indie from 2013 that deserves more attention. Written and directed by Jill Soloway (Amazon’s award-winning series Transparent) and starring the always awesome Kathryn Hahn, this is an extremely funny, well observed, sexy comedy that hits all the proper notes of pathos and hilarity. Hahn’s wildly amusing and emotionally volatile…
Malta has served as a beautiful backdrop for films from Hollywood blockbusters to small independent movies for years. 2016 is no different. Here’s the lowdown on films that have been shot in Malta recently: Assassin’s Creed The eagerly awaited Assassin’s Creed, a movie based on the best-selling video game started filming in Malta’s city centre.

With War Dogs, it’s clear that cinematic funnyman Todd Phillips (The Hangover, Due Date, Old School) wanted to make a film that would raise his dramatic credibility as a storyteller. Sort of akin to the transition that Adam McKay made with his blistering financial meltdown drama The Big Short, this new and extremely entertaining film…
I might need to go down to deed poll to change my name as Odeon Cinemas announces that anyone named David Brent can watch the hotly anticipated film David Brent: Life on the Road for free on opening weekend (19 August) Celebrating the return of Ricky Gervais’ most famous alter ego, ODEON will be opening…
