Out in Theaters: ‘GREEN ROOM’

Out in Theaters: ‘GREEN ROOM’

Jeremy Saulnier's grotesquely violent 'Green Room' pits a hapless punk band against a group of militant Neo Nazis in almost pornographically gruesome fashion. That there isn't too much to the…

Out in Theaters: ‘THE BOSS’

"While The Boss isn’t the total balut-flavored brownie promised by the Universal Studios production, no amount of Crisco is enough to slick the Melissa McCarthy-starring, tonally disparate cram into one…

INTERVIEW
Talking With Jeff Nichols of ‘MIDNIGHT SPECIAL’

Talking With Jeff Nichols of ‘MIDNIGHT SPECIAL’

Director Jeff Nichols faces his biggest obstacle yet this upcoming weekend: the general public. Reviews for his fourth feature film have been largely favorable so far, with a very warm SXSW debut reception, but Midnight Special launches the Arkansas filmmaker into the spotlight in a big way. With a considerable marketing push behind it and...

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘MIDNIGHT SPECIAL’

Out in Theaters: ‘MIDNIGHT SPECIAL’

Jeff Nichols’ ‘Midnight Special’ feels like some recently discovered 80's B-movie. Purring with metaphysical musings and its own cryptic internal mythology,  the sci-fi chase movie asks more questions than it…
