MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Shelter’ Is Captivating And Depressing In Equal Measure
November 17th, 2015 James Shotwell Film: Shelter Starring: Anthony Mackie, Jennifer Connelly Directed by: Paul Bettany Paul Bettany’s first feature behind the camera, Shelter, is without a doubt one of 2015’s most depressing new films.

November 3rd, 2015 James Shotwell Film: Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse Starring: Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller, Joey Morgan Directed by: Christopher Landon Every time I think I have seen what will certainly be the last enjoyable horror-comedy involving zombies, a new title appears with something fun or unique that pulls me and my hard-earned money back into a theater.

November 2nd, 2015 James Shotwell Film: Nasty Baby Starring: Tunde Adebimpe, Kristen Wiig Directed by: Sebastián Silva Nasty Baby may be the most surprising movie of the year, but to discuss why that might be true would be to ruin what is sure to be a one-of-a-kind experience for even the most dedicated cinephile.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Martian’ Is Good, But Not Great
October 2nd, 2015 James Shotwell Film: The Martian Starring: Matt Damon Directed by: Ridley Scott Though it’s nothing like the survival thriller teased in trailers and posters, Ridley Scott’s new film The Martian is enjoyable fall cinema that doesn’t require much thought. In the middle of an expedition to Mars, a team of scientists finds themselves caught outside in the […]
MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Deathgasm’ Is An Unforgettable Experience
October 2nd, 2015 James Shotwell Film: Deathgasm Starring: Milo Cawthorne, James Blake Directed by: Jason Lei Howden Deathgasm is further proof that no one makes outrageous and unforgettable indie horror films quite like the citizens of New Zealand. Brodie (Milo Cawthorne) is a teenage boy who loves heavy metal. In fact, I think the word love probably understates the way […]
