While director David Mackenzie’s “Fuze” certainly isn’t what I expected, this crime caper / thriller takes a unique premise and delivers a bloody, crowd pleaser of a ride. It doesn’t do much to elevate the genre, but is sure is entertain... Read the full review »

Writer / director Curry Barker’s “Obsession” is a movie that walks a tightrope between horror, romance, and dark comedy. And while it stumbles more than once, the moments that work are so good that you might just forgive the rest.

There’s not a lot going on under the hood of director Ben Wheatley’s “Normal,” but it absolutely rips down the highway with its foot on the gas and both middle fingers out the window.

Writer and director Guy Ritchie’s “In The Grey” certainly looks like a movie you should be having fun with. It’s packed with sharply dressed operatives, luxury fashion, globe-trotting locations, rapid-fire banter, and enough slow motion sw... Read the full review »

Horror thriller “Killer Whale” has the kind of premise that should be either genuinely tense or gloriously ridiculous, and boy, do I wish director Jo-Anne Brechin‘s execution was better in her story of two best friends who are trapped in a r... Read the full review »

Overly long and often dry, director Olivier Assayas’ “The Wizard of the Kremlin” is a sweeping, provocative drama that charts the rise of modern Russia through the eyes of one of its most enigmatic insiders. Adapted from Giuliano da Empoli�... Read the full review »

The animated adventure “Animal Farm” is a deeply strange and frustrating adaptation that never quite figures out who it’s meant to be for and ends up feeling like it’s talking down to everyone all at once.
On paper, it’s an ambitious... Read the full review »

Grounded, honest, and genuinely moving, “I Swear” feels a bit more personal and authentic than other, and more familiar, inspirational biographical dramas. Based on the true life story of John Davidson (Robert Aramayo), the film offers a thoug... Read the full review »

Found footage horror films can be a mixed bag, especially because so many of them tend to end up feeling repetitive or gimmicky. That’s why writer and director Brandon Christensen‘s “Bodycam” ended up being a pleasant surprise. Even though... Read the full review »

“The Bride!” is a wildly theatrical, genre-bending reinvention of the classic Bride of Frankenstein tale, recast through a feminist, punk-rock lens that’s as messy as it is exhilarating. Writer and director Maggie Gyllenhaal takes a story lo... Read the full review »

I really dug the fluidity of “The Chronology of Water,” the feature directorial debut from Kristen Stewart. This unsettling film navigates a woman’s emotional healing with a raw, sexually charged and wholly angry point of view.

Although there’s something oddly familiar about director Sam Raimi’s “Send Help,” there’s a deliciously wicked tone to the classic deserted island setup. This is a dark (and bloody) film that has a devilish mean streak, and it’s one wh... Read the full review »
