Out in Theaters: ‘YAKUZA APOCALYPSE’

Out in Theaters: ‘YAKUZA APOCALYPSE’

At Cannes, apparently Miike sent a video of himself in geisha drag apologizing for not attending. He then changed into the giant frog suit and headed to Times Square. Tourists…

Out in Theaters: ’99 HOMES’

Out in Theaters: ’99 HOMES’

Wheeling into the last act, motivations get fuzzy and a touch overwrought. Dern's final minutes on film are without ample justification as Garfield is forced to make temperament shifts all…

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD Season 1 Finale “The Good Man” Review

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD Season 1 Finale “The Good Man” Review

In “A Good Man”, we all get the post-apocalypse we deserve, as Fear The Walking Dead draws to a close. All good things must come to an end. Fear The Walking Dead ended up being very good, despite a rocky start and some missteps. Most of these were corrected in FTWD’s conclusion. First of all,...

THE LEFTOVERS Season 2 Episode 1 Review “Axis Mundi”

THE LEFTOVERS Season 2 Episode 1 Review “Axis Mundi”

The Leftovers isn’t afraid to be cerebral. The show doesn’t cater to the no audience member left behind formula—you either like or you don’t; if you don’t, there are plenty of ways to turn your brain into an egg with the telicopia of shows out there. The Leftovers plays a unique brain scrambler with the...

Out in Theaters: ‘MISSISSIPPI GRIND’

Out in Theaters: ‘MISSISSIPPI GRIND’

Strong chemistry between Mendelsohn and Reynolds ease the more predictable elements from taking hold and directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's ability to slam the occasional magical surrealism into their pragmatic…

REVIEW
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'…
