AHMYGAWD Watch the New ‘STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS’ Trailer NOW

AHMYGAWD Watch the New ‘STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS’ Trailer NOW

I usually don’t watch trailers. I couldn’t help myself with the first teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and I couldn’t stop myself from watching this next (and potentially final) trailer. Join the dark side and watch Han (Harrison Ford), Chewie (Peter Mayhew) and Leia (Carrie Fischer) join new Star Wars members Finn (John...

Out in Theaters: ‘BEASTS OF NO NATION’

Out in Theaters: ‘BEASTS OF NO NATION’

Disturbing and potent, 'Beasts of No Nation' benefits from Cary Fukunaga’s tasteful eye and nasty script. Likewise Idris Elba gives an electric performance as the Commandant of a squadron of…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘CRIMSON PEAK’

Out in Theaters: ‘CRIMSON PEAK’

‘Crimson Peak’ is a worthy Gothic yarn from Guillermo del Toro, abundantly rich in dreary atmospherics and made great by its two deliciously playful villains.

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘STEVE JOBS’

Out in Theaters: ‘STEVE JOBS’

A purebred masterclass in filmmaking, 'Steve Jobs' brings Aaron Sorkin, Danny Boyle and Michael Fassbender together to tell a misanthropic biography brimming with life, humming with energy and ablaze with…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘BRIDGE OF SPIES’

Out in Theaters: ‘BRIDGE OF SPIES’

Steven Spielberg has an inimitable way of turning backroom negotiations into flashes of high tension and there’s no better example of this than 'Bridge of Spies'. It’s the brand of…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE FINAL GIRLS’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE FINAL GIRLS’

'The Final Girls’ does for teen horror slashers what Cabin in the Woods did for the monster genre; it’s an uproariously meta romp that’s easily one of the best PG-13…

Channing Tatum is a Merry Sailor in Trailer for Coen Bro’s ‘HAIL, CAESAR!’

Channing Tatum is a Merry Sailor in Trailer for Coen Bro’s ‘HAIL, CAESAR!’

Have you ever wondered what Channing Tatum would look like in a little sailors outfit? Wonder no more. The trailer for Hail, Caesar!, the newest comedy from Joel and Ethan Coen, has arrived and it looks nothing short of glorious (and features Tatum dressed oh-so-preciously) . Hail, Caesar! tells the story of a tentpole movie...

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘PAN’

Out in Theaters: ‘PAN’

'Pan' manages to hit more highs and lows than most films (family-friendly or otherwise) but is ultimately ravaged by its narrative senselessness and visual apathy. Though Hugh Jackman has fun…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ’99 HOMES’

Out in Theaters: ’99 HOMES’

Wheeling into the last act, motivations get fuzzy and a touch overwrought. Dern's final minutes on film are without ample justification as Garfield is forced to make temperament shifts all…

Blu-Ray Review: ‘WE ARE STILL HERE’

Blu-Ray Review: ‘WE ARE STILL HERE’

But the grieving couple unknowingly becomes the prey of a family of vengeful spirits that reside in their new home, and...
