Why short movies? The best kind of stories are told in short movies. The kind of stories that make you laugh. Or Cry. That entertain, shock and amaze. Best of all, you only have to give up between 5 and 15 minutes of your time to watch a short film. This makes short films perfect…
The best man usually has a few tricks up his sleeve for the bachelor party, but the groom has a deadly one of his own in horror-comedy Bachelor Games.

According to research* conducted by Vue to mark the release of Independence Day: Resurgence, one in three people in the UK believes in aliens. I myself, have always been skeptical about the subject but after reading some of the following statistics even I am wondering if there really is other life out there as so…
Costing just £15,000 to make The Slayers just goes to show that in the right hands, low budget doesn’t mean low quality as this film oozes with comedy, class and great-looking indie special effects that really surprised me and exceeded my expectations. Nigel and Job are both members of a cult who stall on their…

Glenn Close will be playing Caroline Caldwell; Gemma Arterton is set to play Helen Justineau; and Paddy Considine shall play…
There aren’t many movies like Buzzard. This film takes chances, daring the audience to turn it off at times, and features one of the more angry antiheroes that I’ve seen in a movie since Observe and Report. Also taking some visual and thematic cues from Taxi Driver, Joel Potrykus’ movie feels dangerous by design, showcasing…

Hail, Caesar! is light fun from the Coen brothers. I can see why it left general audiences cold but I am surprised it only did so-so with critics as this is a full-on film buff movie and satirical love letter to old-school cinema in general. Roger Deakins is essentially God with a Camera – this…

So the crazy guys over at Fuzz on The Lens production have been keeping their feature film Abnormal Attraction very close to their chests, not much has been released, discussed, talked about. Everything is all very private. I took this opportunity to put on my private detectives hat, grabbed my monocle and searched for more…
Michael Bay is back. Potentially forever lost to giant toy movies (which certainly have all had their moments of gee-whiz visual insanity), he’s stepped up and made an uncompromising modern combat film with 13 Hours. Smartly avoiding any overt political specifying or sketchy speculation, Chuck Hogan’s battle-ready screenplay, based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s book, is all…
Aaron Drane writer of the original web-series and the first Fear Clinic movie posted something on Twitter today that got me rather excited. In reply to a Corey Taylor fan page tweet, Aaron confirmed that a sequel is in the works starring none other than Corey Taylor. Nothing is ever set in stone but it…
I wanna start out by saying that when the first “X-Men” film hit theaters I was only 10 years old. “X-Men” came before any Spider-Man, Hulk, or any other Avenger for that matter when it came to a theatrical movie. I remember seeing it on opening day, so excited. It was like I’d…
The Russo Brothers know exactly how to blend all of the ingredients within the parameters of a Marvel super-production. Captain America was always my #1 Marvel hero, so it’s no surprise that Joe Johnston’s square-jawed and retro-futurist Captain America: The First Avenger remains my favorite film from within the MCU. The Russo brothers’ follow up,…
Shane Black’s The Nice Guys is an extremely entertaining throwback to the 80’s buddy-cop film, but switch out cops for bumbling private detectives, and add a dash of 70’s-flavored aroma to the cinematic atmosphere. Starring the improbably perfect pairing of Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe as mismatched partners who start the film as enemies but…
At this point in our culture, it’s nearly impossible to discuss Top Gun with any amount of clear-eyed objectivity. The film is a milestone for all of its key contributors, a pop culture touchstone for multiple generations of people, and an often imitated and parodied relic from a very specific time and place in cinematic…
