Free Fire is one of those films that has so much potential to be great, it makes you even angrier when it isn’t. Writer/Director Ben Wheatley had so much promise in his idea for a free-for-all shootout in a single location between a series of...
Sad news today as Jonathan Demme, one of the most innovative directors in recent history, has passed away at the age of 73, after a quiet battle with esophageal cancer and heart disease.
Of course, we can’t have Best Picture without Best Director. The two go hand in hand. Or, at least, they used to, back in the classic days of the Academy. In the last seven years, there was a split between the two bosom buddies four times. That’s...
We’ve finally put last year’s Oscars in the rear-view mirror, which means now is the perfect time to kick off our early predictions for the 90th Academy Awards! Yes, yes, I’m sure you’re still detoxing from last year, and I’m sure you want to...
It’s been a fairly quiet week of movie watching. I didn’t review anything last week, although I did see Free Fire, which I will be reviewing soon.
I put The Beguiled on the list of my most anticipated films of 2017, based on the talent behind the camera as well as in front, but truth be told I was always a bit skeptical. I love Sofia Coppola’s Lost In Translation, and I admire her Marie...

A Happy Easter to anyone reading this today! And my apologies for missing last week’s entry, I was indisposed all day with another engagement. I’ll make it up to you with a super-sized lineup in today’s What I Watched, What You Watched, including...
This is really a trailer that needs no introduction. Everyone and their mother is looking forward to Star Wars: The Last Jedi after the massive success (or minor success, if you’re someone who was lukewarm on it) of the absolutely stunning The...
The Fate of the Furious, and by extension, the entire Fast and the Furious franchise, may be exactly the film America needs and deserves. It’s honestly the type of film that crosses boundaries: it’s an old-fashioned dumb movie, the kind that...
The 70th Annual Cannes Film Festival has released the list of films to premiere and compete amongst their hallowed theatres today, a little more than a month ahead of its eventual date.
If you asked me to name the five best directors currently working, the first name I’d say, without any hesitation, and above Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Damien Chazelle, would be Kathryn Bigelow. After spending years cutting her teeth...
