INTERVIEW
Talking with Kumail Nanjiani, Emily Gordon and Michael Showalter of ‘THE BIG SICK’
Perhaps the biggest breakout hit of this year’s Sundance Film Festival was Michael Showalter‘s The Big Sick. The semi-true love story of star and writer Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon, The Big Sick tells an unfamiliar courtship saga that involves, you guessed it, hospitalization and, you probably didn’t guess it, Pakistani 9/11 terrorist jokes. Uncommonly...
INTERVIEW
Talking With Aubrey Plaza and Jeff Baena of ‘THE LITTLE HOURS’
Best known for her depiction of April Ludgate on NBC’s hit sitcom Parks and Recreations, Aubrey Plaza has found a niche in the tv and Hollywood stratosphere as the perpetually awkward, alarmingly tongue-in-cheek millennial type.

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘BABY DRIVER’

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT’
Enduring ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ - enduring being the only appropriate way to describe consuming this living migraine - is tantamount to torture. Michael Bay’s fifth Transformers “movie” not only…
INTERVIEW
Talking with Colin Trevorrow of ‘THE BOOK OF HENRY’
The cast and crew of The Book of Henry have lamented its critical spanking but none moreso than director Colin Trevorrow. It’s no easy task to usher a film into the world, much less-so when the day finally arrives and critical voices rally their pitchforks. Though The Book of Henry has its fair share of...
REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE BOOK OF HENRY’
Colin Trevorrow’s The Book of Henry is a tricksy page-turner, one that clubs you upside the head with eye-popping twists and heartrending turns at the expense of emotional earnestness. Fastidious…
