Interstellar is epic but riddled with problems
I loved Interstellar, it was beautiful, had thoroughly intriguing story, and even had a satisfactory conclusion. However, I cannot turn a blind eye to some significant problems with the story and direction that I saw. The story problems prevent the movie from being as effective as it could have been, and Christopher Nolan’s direction suffers […]

Is Chappie going to be this generations Johnny 5?
If you don’t know who Johnny 5 is, then perhaps it’s best you don’t know. I only threw it out there for those of us that are old enough to remember it. Seriously, if you tried to watch Short Circuit without being in the right age demographic when it released you won’t get it. But, […]

Fury, Gone Girl, The Book of Life held on to their third, fourth and fifth places positions. John Wick dropped from second to sixth demonstrating […]
Revisiting George A. Romero’s Early Dead Films
This is a special guest post from Brandon Engel He’s a celebrated filmmaker and comic book producer. And although he is credited with the creation of the modern zombie movie, George A. Romero asserts that all he did was, “make them neighbors.” While zombie-lore had usually borrowed thematically (and insensitively) from Voodoo mythology up until […]
Review: “Nightcrawler” is dark, disturbing, and captivating
Title: Nightcrawler Director Dan Gilroy Screenwriter: Dan Gilroy Principal Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Bill Paxton, and Riz Ahmed There is a rather large argument happening in certain sections of the Internet at the moment. It’s called “Gamer Gate” and it’s something I’m not really going to get into because I like not having people […]
Review: “Birdman” is very good but ostentatious
Title: Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu Screenwriter: Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, and Armando Bo Principal Cast: Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Zach Galifianakis, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Amy, Ryan, and Andrea Riseborough I’ve been sitting here for the better part of an hour trying to come up […]
Before I Go to Sleep is too timid and tiring
Before I Go to Sleep had all the potential to be a good suspenseful thriller, but the potential was squandered. A suspense thriller without suspense is a waste; in this case, the title becomes a taunt, or a dare. This film was a directorial failure by Rowan Joffé, who could not set the tone appropriately, […]
Birdman: The Unexpected Virtue of Audaciousness
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is a cinematographic playground. Beautifully captured by renowned cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki in what looks like a handful of extraordinary long shots. Those long shots it turns out were a combination of long shots and seamless editing. The effect is nothing short of magnificent, I was intentionally watching for […]

Box Office Report: October 27
This weekend something interesting happened, and it was not just that Keanu Reeves (John Wick) has a hit movie, and it is not Ouija opening at the top. It is St. Vincent jumping from an obscure 15 to 6th in it’s third week. A big part of that is that it only opened in 4 […]
Daniel Radcliffe is enthralling in Horns
Horns is a magnificently dark story filled with performances that kept me transfixed. As the film progressed, the tone of the film grew more sinister to the point where Daniel Radcliffe was simply chilling. This is the first film director Alexandre Aja did not write himself, and might be his best feature film to date. […]
