INTERVIEW
Talking with Craig Robinson of ‘MORRIS FROM AMERICA’

Talking with Craig Robinson of ‘MORRIS FROM AMERICA’

Funny guy Craig Robinson strikes you as the kind of dude with a beefy laugh and a heart of gold. His appearances in film and television throughout the years were jump-started by his turn as ambitious warehouse manager Daryl Philbin in cult TV classic The Office which in turn resulted in a string of parts...

INTERVIEW
Talking with Jeremy Saulnier of ‘GREEN ROOM’

Talking with Jeremy Saulnier of ‘GREEN ROOM’

Jeremy Saulnier emerged from the shadows last year with his not-quite-cult independent smash Blue Ruin. About a man fatally ill prepared to strike justice on the man responsible for his parent’s slaying, Saulnier managed an original voice in a familiar setting. With this year’s Green Room, he’s managed to strike the sweet spot once more....

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…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘ROOM’

Out in Theaters: ‘ROOM’

A healthy dose of heartbreak and humor gives 'Room' dramatic gravitas in spades. Add in two top-of-the-line performances from Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay and you have a picture not…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘THE FINAL GIRLS’

Out in Theaters: ‘THE FINAL GIRLS’

'The Final Girls’ does for teen horror slashers what Cabin in the Woods did for the monster genre; it’s an uproariously meta romp that’s easily one of the best PG-13…

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD “Not Fade Away” Review

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD “Not Fade Away” Review

The action heats up and starts to boil up on “Not Fade Away”, despite the calm on the surface and a decided dearth of Walkers. Fear The Walking Dead has been a slow burn, thus far, taking the time to develop characters and establish the tension that ultimately makes it so successful. While many have...

Out in Theaters: THE SUMMER HOUSE

Out in Theaters: THE SUMMER HOUSE

The Summer House may have too dull a tone for some, and probably will bore most, but those willing to stick with it until the end may find that we…

And they...

REVIEW
TRUE DETECTIVE Season 2 Episode 6 Review “Church in Ruins”

TRUE DETECTIVE Season 2 Episode 6 Review “Church in Ruins”

hurch in Ruins is why True Detective was worshipped to begin with. So far, the best episode of the season is reminiscent of Rust’s extended action sequence through the ghetto. Bez’s (Rachel McAdams) subplot’s climax evoking–either a Kubrickian or Lynchian (either way, brilliantly twisted and atmospheric) tone–matches Velcoro’s unbridled snowy Cuervo bender.

Out in Theaters: UNEXPECTED

 Unexpected is like a wind chime you've hung in your backyard. Sometimes it's jingling and jangling nicely in the wind and you feel good about having bought it. Other times, you…
