Out in Theaters: ‘DEATHGASM’

Out in Theaters: ‘DEATHGASM’

Landing somewhere between Heavy Metal 2000 and the original Evil Dead, Howden's bloodletting send-up 'Deathgasm' is just the kind of silly, stupid horror party movie that people have been trying…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘ADDICTED TO FRESNO’

Out in Theaters: ‘ADDICTED TO FRESNO’

The product as a whole is reasonably entertaining during its run time, and certainly has its fair share of chuckles thanks to its pissy leading ladies, but 'Addicted to Fresno'…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE WALK’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE WALK’

A shambolic effort that matches dazzling sequences of high-wire daring with doltish storytelling, Robert Zemeckis' latest is an interesting failure but a failure nonetheless. The walk segment of 'The Walk'…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE MARTIAN’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE MARTIAN’

A wanna-be prestige picture without the visual glamour of 'Gravity' or the emotional oomph of '2001: A Space Odyssey,' 'The Martian' is content with being a commendable piece of popcorn-crunching…

‘SCREAM QUEENS’ “Chainsaw” Review

‘SCREAM QUEENS’ “Chainsaw” Review

2015 has been a pretty horrorshow year for horror television. Between the high-profile, high-production-value extended Slasher Flick of MTV’s Scream: The Series and Fox’s frankly hilarious horror/comedy Scream Queens, 2015 stands to be remembered as a gold standard year for the format, helping us all to move on from the mostly underwhelming snorefest that was...

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD ‘Cobalt’ Review

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD ‘Cobalt’ Review

In which difficult choices are made; some “good guys” are not so good; some other “good guys” remain the same; things get smashed; and a mysterious new character is introduced. Things are coming to a head, as Fear The Walking Dead reaches its culmination. We’ve left the rules behind as the morality of this world...

Blu-Ray Review: ‘COP CAR’

Blu-Ray Review: ‘COP CAR’

Synopsis: “A corrupt small-town sheriff is on the hunt for two runaway kids who took his car on a joy ride in Cop Car. When a pair of 10-year-olds find an abandoned cop car in a field and take it for a joyride, it seems like they could kill themselves at any moment. But things...

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘SICARIO’

Out in Theaters: ‘SICARIO’

Emboldened by Roger Deakin’s screamingly accomplished cinematography, Jóhann Jóhannsson’s  hypnotic score, Benicio Del Toro's unforgettable performance and Denis Villeneuve's prudent, cold-blooded direction, 'Sicario' commits cinematic terrorism against our desire for…

REVIEW
Documentary Dossier: ‘RACING EXTINCTION’

Documentary Dossier: ‘RACING EXTINCTION’

 Racing Extinction is an outdated, over-produced and unfocused issue documentary whose worthwhile goals are buried in unremarkable, forgettable execution.

SOUTH PARK “Where My Country Gone” Recap

SOUTH PARK “Where My Country Gone” Recap

This week on South Park: During a televised White House event, President Obama honors a dejected Kyle for lighting up social media with #tolerance and #acceptance after lauding his current hero (and former least favorite Kardashian): The “stunning and brave” Caitlyn Jenner.
