It has been ten years since Godzilla’s last on screen appearance in the film Godzilla: Final Wars. The character turned 50 then. What exactly has he been doing the last 10 years? Resting perhaps. Hibernating; storing his energy, gathering his strength for one of the more enthralling and epic adventures of his existence. Now at […]
The new comedy Neighbors (or known as Bad Neighbours internationally) is a movie that wants to be both a frat boy/party movie and a gross out comedy with mostly successful results thanks to the direction of Nicholas Stoller and some inventive gags to help Neighbors stand out. Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) are […]
The notion of Batman having a son never really held a ton of weight with me. Nevermind there have been some strong stories that have come out in the comics regarding Damian Wayne and his origins. However, I think the reason for my indifference toward the idea of a child of Batman has to do […]
Locke is the second directorial effort from writer Steven Knight and he takes a more daring turn away from crime dramas, in order to craft a minimalistic drama, in one location and a single character on screen. Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) is successful Welsh construction manager who is about to run one of the largest […]

One filmmaker that has always made […]
If you want to find the definition of a pretentious art house movie then Jim Jarmusch’s latest movie Only Lovers Left Alive supplies that demand, a movie that is full of itself, as it digs deeper into literature, science and philosophy. Adam (Tom Hiddleston) is a reclusive vampire musician in Detroit who spends his time collecting […]
Gareth Evans has left an indelible mark on action cinema and graced the action genre with his latest entry in The Raid series. While he certainly made it a point for him to be paid attention to, with The Raid, but with The Raid 2: Berandal, Evans utilizes every single facet of filmmaking in order […]
Darren Aronofsky’s film makes a real, successful splash (no pun intended) and should be allowed to take its rightful place among previous big screen adaptations of the more fantastic biblical epics. Every bit as big as films like The Ten Commandments (1956) or Samson and Delilah (1949) were for their time, Noah not only delivers […]
Denis Villeneuve’s Enemy is both one of the most satisfying experiences and terrifying experiences I’ve had in a movie theater in a really long time. From the strange opening scene of a group of men watching a woman masturbate, to the final image that about defies any expectations going in, this doppelgänger thriller is sure […]
