Backed up by blinding cinematography from Tobias A. Schliessler and an agonizingly plucky score (a throwback to Berg's Friday Night Light days) courtesy of a Steve Jablonsky, Explosions in the…

Out in Theaters: AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY

Although the icky subject matter will be enough to turn general audiences away, those looking for a bonafide acting showcase need look no further than this Southern familial upset. Although…

30 Most Anticipated Films of 2014 (30-21)

With 2013 now in the rear mirror, it’s time to look forward into the new year and start placing our bets on what’s going to turn out best. As always, there’s a slate of big blockbusters on their way but I only have little interest in a bulk of these. For this reason, you won’t...

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...
