‘War Dogs’ trailer finds Jonah Hill and Miles Teller selling guns, trading barbs
March 25th, 2016 Gabe Aikins It’s fair to say that most of us would love to make millions of dollars while we’re still in our 20s. Arms dealing probably didn’t cross your mind when it comes to jobs for getting rich, but that’s exactly what Jonah Hill and Miles Teller do in the newly released trailer for War Dogs. The […]

March 25th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Directed by: Zack Snyder Starring: Henry Cavill, Jesse Eisenberg, Ben Affleck If I were to take Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’s text verbatim, then I’d be led to believe that a group of people with supernatural capabilities hold the power to defending the world from annihilation. Well, […]
Boston Underground Film Fest 2016 – Day 1: ‘The Lure’
March 24th, 2016 Sam Cohen Opening night at Boston Underground Film Festival is always a jovial, if not transformative, experience at the movies. The first night that I attended there in 2014, I got to see Sion Sono’s Why Don’t You Play in Hell? Which resulted in all of my preconceptions about the festival’s programming being shattered. Seeing the new […]

March 22nd, 2016 Sam Cohen Some may regard Christmas as “the most wonderful time of the year,” but I save that kind of praise for the beautiful months of March and April. Why? Because in Boston, these months are filled with film farther than the eye can see. And first off, from March 23-27, we have the 18th incarnation of […]

‘Miss Peregrine’s’ trailer is weird in the best way
March 21st, 2016 Gabe Aikins You might think you can be a bit weird sometimes, but you’ve got nothing on the “peculiarities” of the kids in the recently released trailer for Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. Based on the 2011 bestselling novel of the same name, by Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s follows Jacob Portman as he discovers the titular […]

Annihilation is nigh in new ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ trailer
March 20th, 2016 Gabe Aikins They may have fixed the timeline in Days of Future Past, but all is not well for our favorite team of mutants in the newly released trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse. Charles Xavier and his group of friends and students are set to face the most powerful mutant to have ever lived, fittingly referred to as Apocalypse. Judging from […]

March 18th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: The Divergent Series – Allegiant Directed by: Robert Schwentke Starring: Shailene Woodley, Jeff Daniels, Theo James, Naomi Watts The Divergent series always seemed a bit of an enigma to me. These movies are churned out once a year, they don’t make that much money in comparison to other big budget fare, and they always […]

March 4th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Directed by: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa Starring: Tina Fey, Martin Freeman, Margot Robbie Whiskey Tango Foxtrot carves out a nice little space for itself next to other breezy, matinee, fish-out-of-water tales.
