With a release date of August 2, the following two pictures offer the first look at the followup to Zack Synder‘s 300. Titled 300: Rise of an Empire, this sequel-that-was-a-prequel is now more of a simul, as it takes place within roughly the same time frame as the original but on a different battleground...
While the scope here offers a commanding view of the nature of reverberations, the mood is repeatedly dour and at times painstakingly hard to watch. This glum tone takes command…
The bottom line: Evil Dead is a gory mess in both substance and execution. This bloody remake drops the campy laughs of the original in favor of an all out…
Lazing around on the coach has never been so good, especially when it’s considered “work”.

Refn’s last film Drive was my favorite flick of 2011 and Only God Forgives...
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...
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…
