Your time is short. We know this. So in order to expedite your buying and Netflix decision making, we provide you with a list of the cool and not-so-cool titles coming out for movies, television and everything in-between. So put your feet up, grab some popcorn and check out this week’s selections. Movies: A MOST VIOLENT YEAR – For a film that has the word “violent” in the title I was kind of hoping there would be a bit more violence going on. A better name for this film should have been MAN STRUGGLES TO KEEP OIL COMPANY AFLOAT. Granted, […]Read On »

VOD Review: HOOKED UP

HOOKED UP | © 2015 Uncork'd Entertainment

Rating: Not Rated Cast: Jonah Ehrenreich, Stephen Ohl, Julia Molins, Natascha Wiese Writer: Pablo Larcuen, Eduard Sola Director: Pablo Larcuen Distributor: Uncork’d Entertainment Release Date: April 7, 2015 HOOKED UP proudly embraces the fact that the entire movie was shot using an iPhone. While this probably is bragging rights in some circles, I’m not sure if you should be proud of the achievement. Do many people rent video-on-demand features with the intention of seeing craptacular video quality? And while found footage and retro-set films have used filters and special effects to introduce bad looking video quality, I’m pretty sure the […]Read On »

DIGGING UP THE MARROW | © 2015 Image Entertainment

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Ray Wise, Adam Green, Will Barratt Writer: Adam Green Director: Adam Green Distributor: RLJ Entertainment/Image Entertainment Release Date: March 24, 2015 Between making horror movies (the HATCHET series and FROZEN, not to be confused with the animated Disney film), horror shorts and a horror-comedy TV series (HOLLISTON) writer/director/producer Adam Green knows plenty about the horror business. His new film DIGGING UP THE MARROW has an insider’s knowledge and delight in genre conventions, which he manages to simultaneously tweak and honor. DIGGING UP THE MARROW has a documentary format, with Green playing himself and his regular cinematographer, […]Read On »

Your time is short. We know this. So in order to expedite your buying and Netflix decision making, we provide you with a list of the cool and not-so-cool titles coming out for movies, television and everything in-between. So put your feet up, grab some popcorn and check out this week’s selections. Movies: WILD CARD – I’ve always said that Jason Statham is the king of the one-word action movies, having starred in SPY, HOMEFRONT, REDEMPTION, PARKER, SAFE, BLITZ, TRANSPORTER, CRANK and more. But maybe he is the king of the two-word action movies as well with THE EXPENDABLES, KILLER […]Read On »

Movie Review: WHITE GOD

WHITE GOD | © 2015 Magnolia Pictures

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Zsofia Psotta, Sandor Zsoter, Szabolcs Thuroczy, Lili Monori, Laszlo Galffi, Lili Horvath Writers: Kata Weber, Kornel Mundruczo, Viktoria Petranyi Director: Kornel Mundruczo Distributor: Magnolia Pictures Release Date: April 3, 2015 First let it be said that there are a whole slew of astonishing images in the Hungarian film (with English subtitles) WHITE DOG, courtesy of both director/co-screenwriter Kornel Mundruczo and animal trainers Teresa Ann Miller and Arpad Halasz. Another film with this many actual non-CGI dogs all performing together does not spring to mind. However, some of WHITE DOG’s themes have been approached before in the […]Read On »

Movie Review: FURIOUS 7

FURIOUS 7 | © 2015 Universal Studios

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Dwayne Johnson, Lucas Black, Kurt Russell, Nathalie Emmanuel, Djimon Hounsou Writer: Chris Morgan, based on characters created by Gary Scott Thompson Director: James Wan Distributor: Universal Release Date: April 3, 2015 Fair warning, just because this is not what one expects from a FAST & FURIOUS film: FURIOUS 7 ends with a thorough gut-punch that has nothing to do with what happens in the film. As is widely known, Paul Walker, who plays FAST & FURIOUS series stalwart Brian O’Conner, died in […]Read On »

Movie Review: HOME

Astle & Matt Ember, based on the novel THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY by Adam Rex Director: Tim Johnson Distributor: 20th Century Fox/DreamWorks Animation Release Date: March 27, 2015 HOME succeeds in just about everything it sets out to do. It is funny, charming, entertaining, big-hearted and has a message that is at once clear enough to be understood by young viewers and woven into the storyline so thoroughly that we don’t feel lectured. Its animation suits the narrative style with pleasing details – note our […]Read On »

So put your feet up, grab some popcorn and check out this week’s selections. Movies: ANNIE – Yes, Hollywood has no new ideas but people have been redoing ANNIE since the dawn of time and so when an updated version came to theaters a few months ago it wasn’t so much a shock as it was a natural order of things.

Movie/VoD Review: THE WALKING DECEASED

THE WALKING DECEASED | © 2015 Arc Entertainment

Cast: Dave Sheridan, Joey Oglesby, Tim Olgetree, Sophia Taylor Ali, Danielle Garcia, Mason Dakota Galyon, Troy Olgetree Writer: Tim Ogletree Director: Scott Dow Distributor: Arc Entertainment Rating: Not Rated Movie parodies used to be something of a rarity. And then they were not based on current pop culture but on a genre of cinema. AIRPLANE was not based on a slew of shows about airplanes but rather the dramas and action flicks of the time with a unique storyline and comedic slapstick. Parodies remained a rare thing in Hollywood until the SCARY MOVIE franchise emerged and made a ton of […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE GUNMAN

THE GUNMAN | © 2015 Open Road

Rating: R Stars: Sean Penn, Jasmine Trinca, Javier Bardem, Mark Rylance, Ray Winstone, Idris Elba Writers: Don MacPherson and Peter Travis, based on the novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette Director: Pierre Morel Distributor: Open Road Release Date: March 20, 2015 It may well be that the Jean-Patrick Manchette novel that is the basis for THE GUNMAN is a masterpiece of suspense. The movie version, scripted by Don MacPherson and Peter Travis and directed by Pierre Morel, is not. This would be less of a problem if THE GUNMAN wasn’t trying to be, among other things, a mystery, when the only real […]Read On »
