Out in Theaters: TRACKS
One thing is for certain: you won't find more camel drool in any other movie to come out this year. And even though the journey doesn't ever conjure up the…

A Flawless, Expert, Foolproof Ranking of David Fincher’s Films
Seeing that Gone Girl screens here in Seattle tonight, I’ve taken it upon myself to go through and rank the films of auteur filmmaker David Fincher.

Weekly Review 56: SESSION, IT, SANGRE, MANHUNTER, PONTYPOOL, SLACKER, BORGMAN

From 1950’s Akira Kurosawa to 2011 Lynn Shelton, I went on a tear of international and domestic, the old and...
REVIEW
Out in Theaters: A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES
With easy humor courtesy of Neeson's growled quips, well-directed drizzly dramatics and a thick air of hardboiled, gloomy atmospherics, A Walk Among The Tombstones brings to life the aged marvel…

Out in Theaters: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY
Bolstered with two fine performances from its healthily talented leads, this truncated art film - while entirely a mouthful to say - will pique your morbid curiosity and satisfy any…
REVIEW
Out in Theaters: TUSK
As effective as any high dosage caffeine pill, Tusk is a wildly original, tonally inconsistent, totally appalling smorgasbord of nightmare fuel that won't soon stop haunting me. Smith and Kurtzman's…
