Jeans Creaming Trailer for GAME OF THRONES Season 4

Jeans Creaming Trailer for GAME OF THRONES Season 4

Let’s be honest, if you haven’t yet seen Game of Thrones, you’re so far out of the pop-nerd zeitgesit that you might as well have never even heard of Breaking Bad. So I’ll be approaching this article assuming that you know what’s up on HBO’s most popular show. That means spoilers. After the character-killing events...

Out in Theaters: LONE SURVIVOR

Backed up by blinding cinematography from Tobias A. Schliessler and an agonizingly plucky score (a throwback to Berg's Friday Night Light days) courtesy of a Steve Jablonsky, Explosions in the…

Although the icky subject matter will be enough to turn general audiences away, those looking for a bonafide acting showcase need look no further than this Southern familial upset. Although…

This may sound like the ramblings of a film snob, which it is. But I have to plead that no one spends money on this. Every ticket purchase for this…

Out in Theaters: THE WOLF OF WALL STREET

But it's not the performances alone that shine, as the movie flows smooth as butter. Looking at it as a whole, I wouldn't want a single scene cut and that's…

Weekly Review 37: CANYONS, HOST, EPIC, THIEF, SIGHTSEERS, SCISSORHANDS, GRANDPA

The last of 2013 is upon us and I’ve been shoveling in just about as many films from the year as I can, building towards my awaiting best of/worst of lists and the second annual Silver Screen Riot Awards. At the theater, I closed out seeing the last films I would this year with Anchorman...

Out in Theaters: ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES

Without reaching the same highs, Anchorman 2 still provides us with a good belly full of laughs. We can hope that McKay and Ferrell's goal here is to provide another…

Weekly Review 36: HUNT, PROPHET, O BROTHER, LAURENCE

On the march to the end of the season, with only four more major releases to go for 2013, I crossed two big ticket items off the list with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug offering just the brand of disappointment I was crossing my fingers against and Inside Llewyn Davis which has been growing...
