Out in Theaters: IF I STAY
If I Stay is the useless kind of movie for people who have nothing else to be bummed about. It invites you to wonder if people do sit around and…

INTERVIEW
Talking with Chloe Grace Moretz of IF I STAY
At the tender young age of 12, Chloe Grace Moretz suited up in purple spandex and dropped profanities like a pirate’s parrot. Offensive to some and provocative to all, her role as Hit-Girl exposed her to the world in a big way and it was a career moved that has since paid off ten-fold. She’s...

Weekly Review 50: INDIGO, TRANS4MERS, IDA, 13, THE GOOD
It’s been more than two weeks since our last outing at the Weekly Review outpost so I’ve got a bit to catch up on. At the theater, I gobbled up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Into the Storm, The Giver and Love is Strange (review soon). Since most of the television shows I watch are off...

For a first time director, working with...

A Definitive, Indisputable, Unarguable Ranking of the Coen Bro’s Films
Ethan and Joel Coen have been making movies since 1984. And not just your run-of-the-mill, “here’s another one” kind of movie. Thoughtful, delicately constructed masterworks. One after another. I truly think it’s fair to say that they don’t have a bad movie in the bunch, which makes the task of ranking them ever the more...

Out in Theaters: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
As TMNT rips to a rather forecasted conclusion, it's quite clear that Liebesman's goal has been accomplished. His film is a puckering cherry bomb. But rather than blow up in…

Out in Theaters: INTO THE STORM
Whilst the inadvertent humor disqualifies Into the Storm from the most painful movie experience of the year accolade, that's still not something you want to pull for the box art…
