Weekly Review 37: CANYONS, HOST, EPIC, THIEF, SIGHTSEERS, SCISSORHANDS, GRANDPA

The last of 2013 is upon us and I’ve been shoveling in just about as many films from the year as I can, building towards my awaiting best of/worst of lists and the second annual Silver Screen Riot Awards. At the theater, I closed out seeing the last films I would this year with Anchorman...

Out in Theaters: ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES

Without reaching the same highs, Anchorman 2 still provides us with a good belly full of laughs. We can hope that McKay and Ferrell's goal here is to provide another…

Out in Theaters: AMERICAN HUSTLE

You could probably also say that my expectations were too high going into American Hustle (I was ready to jam it in my top ten before even seeing it) but…

Weekly Review 36: HUNT, PROPHET, O BROTHER, LAURENCE

On the march to the end of the season, with only four more major releases to go for 2013, I crossed two big ticket items off the list with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug offering just the brand of disappointment I was crossing my fingers against and Inside Llewyn Davis which has been growing...

Out in Theaters: INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS

Out in Theaters: INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS

Blemishes and all, Inside Llewyn Davis is that rare movie that only the Coens could pull off. Backed by a killer soundtrack, a gloomy visual landscape, and a star-making performance…

Sony's Spiderman Universe Gets VENOM and SINISTER SIX Spinoffs

The fellas over at Sony have been having a field day this month with their Spiderman properties. After the release of the latest trailer for The Amazing Spiderman 2, the interwebs stirred with spoiler discussions of what was to come next (as in, not this movie, but the movie after it). Hints towards both Vulture...

Out in Theaters: SAVING MR. BANKS

Saving Mr. Banks is yet another Disney export of saccharine in the highest degree, an uplifting tale that also serves to reinforce the likeability of a dynasty that has swept…

GODZILLA Returns to the Big Screen In Style, Watch the Provocative First Trailer

GODZILLA Returns to the Big Screen In Style, Watch the Provocative First Trailer

Ever since last year’s Comic Con, fanboys have been going nutso for the upcoming Godzilla reboot. And while many, myself included, didn’t understand where all this enthusiasm was coming from, looking back at the history of the monster icon reveals why he’s had such a massive cultural impact throughout the world. Originally made in Japan, 1954,...

C-Tates Rocks Elf Ears, Sandy Goatee in JUPITER ASCENDING Trailer from Wachowskis

C-Tates Rocks Elf Ears, Sandy Goatee in JUPITER ASCENDING Trailer from Wachowskis

Ambitious to a fault, last year’s Cloud Atlas was amongst the strangest and best of the year. It earned a mention just outside of my top ten of the year for taking massive risks that mostly paid off, something the Wachowskis have become known for. While The Matrix sequels may have soured the insane originality...
