Most are quick to judge a feature-length film on a two-plus minute trailer, and in the case of 2016’s Ghostbusters reboot, the masses already seem divided.

February 27th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Gods Of Egypt Directed by: Alex Proyas Starring: Gerard Butler, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Brenton Thwaites There’s something really admirable about Hollywood’s eagerness to keep pumping out loud, big budget, mythological epics with the hope of striking gold. It sometimes provides auteurs with a chance to run rampant through centuries-old material while making it their own. […]

February 26th, 2016 Tyler Hanan Scrambling to catch up on all things Oscars? The big categories are easy: Mad Max should win but won’t. Leo shouldn’t win but will. The little people will be played off and someone will be just insufferable. We’ve been over all that time and again. What doesn’t get as much love are the smaller categories—your documentaries, shorts, and […]

February 26th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Triple 9 Directed by: John Hillcoat Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet “You gotta out-monster the monster,” Woody Harrelson’s joint-smoking detective, Jeffrey Allen, says before chugging another drink. Boilerplate truths like this one are littered throughout director John Hillcoat’s Triple 9, a cinematic piece of slam poetry dealing in dirges of nasty crime […]

February 19th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: The Witch Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy, Kate Dickie, Ralph Ineson Directed by: Robert Eggers If there’s anything we’ve learned from horror cinema, it’s that witches have the immense power to take an already awful day and make it exponentially shittier. Considering that last statement, The Witch’s witches are so hellbent on screwing with a 1630s […]

February 17th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Cabin Fever Starring: Gage Golightly, Matthew Daddario, Nadine Crocker Directed by: Travis Z Remaking a horror film is probably one of the trickiest things someone can do today. Rarely does the remake trump the original, especially because the original can have a vision that can’t be replicated or repurposed for the sake of another […]

February 13th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Southbound Directed by: Roxanne Benjamin, Radio Silence, David Bruckner, Patrick Horvath Starring: Mather Zickel, Chad Villella, Matt Bettinelli-Opin, Larry Fessenden The road to redemption is filled with potholes like demons, satanic cults, and masked villains. That much we’ve learned from the horror genre up until now, right? Southbound takes those familiar genre stamps for […]

February 12th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Zoolander 2 Directed by: Ben Stiller Starring: Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig The original Zoolander still remains as a bit of an enigma, in my head. It was about a dumb man saving the world and the hijinks that would ensue because of that idiocy, maybe with a little bit of […]

January 30th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Mojave Directed by: William Monahan Starring: Garrett Hedlund, Oscar Isaac, Walton Goggins William Monahan, the Boston native who wrote Martin Scorsese’s The Departed, makes his second directorial effort with Mojave.
