Room 237 is a careful exploration of everything Shining and has earned great repute from critics and diehard fans...

Han Solo and Boba Fett Films Now on The Star Wars Platter

  Ok, I promise from here on out I won’t be exclusively reporting Star Wars news anymore but this one is just too big to pass up. As of yesterday, a Yoda spinoff was reportedly in the pipes but today’s news is much, much more important- a pair of spin-offs for fan favorites Han Solo...

Paul Thomas Anderson to Fast Track INHERENT VICE with Joaquin Phoenix

  Paul Thomas Anderson, or PTA, has long been known as a slow director. Like fellow auteurs Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson, he writes and directs his films so they’re usually long in the pipes and take a high level of meticulous planning.

Hypnotic Trailer and Poster for Danny Boyle's TRANCE

Boyle has a great eye for color and camera composition and, in my opinion, is one of the greatest working directors out there, making anything he does something worth anticipating. Some of...
