Tom Hiddleston Totally Loses It in Insanely Awesome ‘HIGH-RISE’ Trailer

Tom Hiddleston Totally Loses It in Insanely Awesome ‘HIGH-RISE’ Trailer

Director Ben Wheatley is perhaps the most underrated name in the horror game and his latest, High-Rise, looks to continue his streak of being a total badass with a camera. High-Rise will be the director’s fifth feature film effort – coming off the heels of the rather eccentric A Field in England – and has...

Winter 2016 Movie Preview – 16 Movies We’re Willing To Give the Benefit of the Doubt

Winter 2016 Movie Preview – 16 Movies We’re Willing To Give the Benefit of the Doubt

We’ve written about the best films of 2015. We’ve written about the worst. And then, it was over. And so came “that” time of year. “That” time of year where the hits of 2015 continue to dominate the box office. Where awards contenders pile back into theaters. Where Star Wars makes another billion dollars. And,...

Silver Screen Riot’s Worst 10 Movies of 2015

Like any year, 2015 was a hotbed for steamy cinematic turds – and I don’t even watch Adam Sandler movies or Friedberg-Seltzer spoofs. Because let’s be honest, neither of the above have been good since I was in diapers. So for all the A+’s of 2015, there were accompanying F’s. For all the sweet, sweet...

Silver Screen Riot’s Top 10 Films of 2015

Well well well. 2015 has finally reached its end. After 201 films, 25 interviews (including Robert Duvall,  Kevin Bacon, Jason Segel, Jason Schwartzman, Greta Gerwig,  Jemaine Clement, Alex Garland, and Nick Kroll to name just a few), three massive international film festivals and countless hours spend idly engaged in film banter with my always entertaining gang of...

Out in Theaters: ‘POINT BREAK’

Out in Theaters: ‘POINT BREAK’

Impressive stunt work helps mask the ghastly script and awful performances present in 2015's version of Point Break, making for at least one reason for this completely unnecessary remake to…

Out in Theaters: ‘DADDY’S HOME’

Out in Theaters: ‘DADDY’S HOME’

'Daddy's Home' champions its family-friendly pull over boorish, toothy comedy to create a bumbling, occasional bemusing sitcom of a film. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are apt as men battling…

Out in Theaters: ‘MUSTANG’

Out in Theaters: ‘MUSTANG’

A thoughtful portrait of caged femininity, 'Mustang' strongly represents Eurpoean cinema’s knack for giving life to disparate voices. France's submission for the 2016 Oscar Best Foreign Film race is a…

Out in Theaters: ‘THE BIG SHORT’

Adam McKay’s star-filled ‘The Big Short’ tackles a huge subject, the 2008 financial meltdown, with surprising wit and clarity. That it ends up being both educational and entertaining is a…
