Wheels don’t need to be reinvented to be appreciated. If nothing else, Haunt proves that.

The history of metal is laid bare in this fascinating documentary.

[rating=7.00] It’s a funny thing, evil. That which humans have attributed to any many of ghost, demon, or specter since humans have had the capability of attributing things to anything is usually the handiwork of man. None of god’s creations are as capable of malice as his supposed greatest, and evil is rarely is at […]

[rating=9.00] The deeper we get into this new era of humanity the more things change. We’ve long since lost touch with the natural rhythms of the world, moving, instead, to the rhythms of technology that mold nature into something like we want it to be. The old ways have died. For the most part. There […]

The classic series is brought to life.

[rating=8.00] William Shakespeare’s work is such that it invokes consideration even now, four centuries after the Bard’s death in 1616.

Trespassers, which is available on demand today via IFC Films, manages to skillfully execute a standard home invasion horror film, and does […]

It’s still better than some of my experiences with Uber, to be fair.

Spider-Man is definitely having a moment

Director Ari Aster smashes the concept of the sophomore slump into oblivion.

Danny Boyle’s ode to the Beatles is an audience pleasing delight.

A masterpiece of cinematic poetry.

On the plus side, even Jim Jarmusch’s worst films are still Jim Jarmusch films.

Mindy Kaling’s look inside the world of television is a charming and delightful jump to the big screen for the writer and actress.

The X-Men series ends as it started: mired in mediocrity.
