The new time travel thriller, Predestination is both an encouraging a depressing start for cinema in 2015. It’s encouraging because it’s a damn fine movie, one with loads of ideas and a great deal of humanity. The fact that it’s a good movie released in January is close to a miracle. The cinematic wasteland of...

Marvel finally released the full teaser trailer for Ant-Man during the premiere of the surprisingly excellent Agent Carter. To say that Ant-Man has had trouble making the leap from the page to the screen is a gross understatement. Marvel announced it at Comic-Con ages ago, before the first Iron Man had even come out. They signed Edgar Wright to...

Now that we’ve gone over the best films of 2014, it’s time to take a look at the garbage. This isn’t a ‘worst of’ list though. There are far too many terrible movies to sift through and do I really need to tell you that Blended was despicable dreck? Or that Annabelle was a cynical,...

I don’t post trailers very often but Big Game looks like it will be the most entertaining movie of year. I’m already saving a spot on my best of 2015 list and I’ve only seen about a minute and a half of the actual film. THIS. TRAILER. IS. EVERYTHING. So don’t tell me to...

Now that 2015 is officially here, it’s time to look back on the films that made a lasting impression this past year. I must say, I thought 2014 was a damn good year for movies. You had to look for some of them but the search was well worth it. In fact, I liked...

Ladies and Gentleman, we are about to enter a dark time. A time where idiocy, incompetence, laziness and cynicism are the norm. A time where souls will be crushed, dreams shattered, and innocence lost. Hope and joy will be left in the wings while boredom and despair will take center stage. I’m speaking of...

Christmas is almost here and for most of us that means empty bank accounts, an endless barrage of Holiday music, family parties with people we don’t like, and screenings of flicks we’ve seen ten thousand times yet feel obligated to watch every December. I’m sorry, did that sound cynical? Forgive me, the Holiday spirit...

When I first saw the trailer for Whiplash, I didn’t know what the hell to make of it. It appeared to be a typical music school drama, one of those cloying movies like Music of the Heart or Mr. Holland’s Opus where some wide eyed idiot with a passion for music gets inspired by...

First of all, to address your gaping jaw and look of utter bewilderment, that image above is not fake. Paramount Pictures has indeed made a push for the Academy to nominate Transformers: Age of Extinction for Best Picture. They want Michael Bay to get a Best Director nomination and for the flick to get a whole...

Foxcatcher has Oscar written all over it. It’s chock full of things the Academy loves: a comedic actor making a dark dramatic turn, a pretty boy actor demanding to be taken seriously, a prestigious director who only makes Oscar bait, a script based off a lurid true story, a long running time, and themes focused on...
