Weekly Review 21: TED, BULLY, HOLY MOTORS and THE KILLING
Lazing around on the coach has never been so good, especially when it’s considered “work”. This week, I took a look at Seth MacFarlane‘s supposed comedy Ted, the acclaimed foreign film from France Holy Motors, the Weinstein‘s MPAA debacle-filled documentary Bully as well as the first season of AMC‘s The Killing. Ted (2012) ...

New THE GREAT GATSBY Trailer Hip Hops
Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby is a risky project. Originally slated for release during the thick of Award’s season last December, the release was pushed back a substantial five months to May 10th in order to go for the typically larger summer audience.

CARRIE Trailer Gets Down and Dirty
Brian De Palma adapted the Steven King classic Carrie to middling success back in 1976 and to go along with the recent Hollywood trend of 1970-something horror adaptations, this re-envisioned Carrie starring Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore looks it really churn out the eerie, gory goods. Where De Palma’s film largely deviated from the source...

ONLY GOD FORGIVES Gets Red Band Trailer
Even though I neglected to add this film into my list of the most anticipated films of the year, Only God Forgives directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and starring Ryan Gosling might just be my most anticipated film of the year.

Fishing for Details with FINDING NEMO Sequel, FINDING DORY
Oh Pixar, how far the mighty have fallen. Even though you scored the Best Animated Film win this year for your derivative princess story Brave, many of us believe it was not a victory deserved. Transformed from a studio of unique ingenuity that brought us films like Wall-E, Up and Ratatouille, Pixar has seemed...

Out in Theaters: STOKER
After all is said and done, Stoker adds up to a wonderfully paced creep-fest that knows exactly where to mine for the best elements of suspense. It's morbid revelry in…

Out in Theaters: SPRING BREAKERS
In Spring Breakers defense, it's not all bad. I didn't hate the nudity, in fact, I rather liked it but that seductive allure is hardly an excuse for the badly…

Weekly Review 20: Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, SMASHED, INSIDIOUS, BACHELORETTE
This week in movie watching, I finally got around to watching Alfonso Cuaron‘s much laded Y Tu Mama Tambien, the Aaron Paul–Mary Elizabeth Winstead alcoholic indie flick, Smashed, 2011’s overrated horror flop Insidious and the very raunchy and very funny, Bachelorette. Y Tu Mama También (2001) What may at first appear to be...
