When the online tabloid blog Gawker made the decision to post a sex tape featuring wrestler Hulk Hogan, a multi-million dollar lawsuit brought privacy rights in respect to the First Amendment into the spotlight. In the timely documentary “Nobody... Read the full review »

The sleazy, bleak, and primal low budget crime thriller “Good Time” feels like a cinematic punch in the face. The more I think about this film through my figurative black eye, the more I like it. It’s rare to find a movie so confident and wh... Read the full review »

I truly expected “Grow House” to be another junk movie destined for a lifetime on the clearance DVD shelf at Walmart. Somehow it managed to get a limited theatrical release, which usually means there’s a little special something about the fi... Read the full review »

I have learned more about the tulip craze in 17th Century Amsterdam than I ever care to hear about ever again thanks to “Tulip Fever,” a lifeless, insipid mess of a movie. Alicia Vikander and Christoph Waltz may headline this ill-advised proje... Read the full review »

Once in a while a film comes along that perfectly captures the spirit of what indie cinema should be. “Sleight” is a bold work of vibrant creativity, a solidly crafted film with a primal grittiness and an intimate, small scale story that’s a... Read the full review »

Familial dysfunction hits its peak in “The Glass Castle,” a sprawling tale of growing up poverty-stricken in the rural West Virginia mountains. The film is based on author Jeannette Walls‘s best-selling memoir about her real life struggle wi... Read the full review »

The trippy indie animated movie “My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea” feels a heck of a lot like it was dreamed up during an artistic hipster’s drug induced stupor. The film, written and directed by graphic novelist Dash Shaw, is an a... Read the full review »

That “Patti Cake$” is the first feature film of writer / director Geremy Jasper bodes very well for his future as a serious indie filmmaker. This coming of age story about a big girl with even bigger dreams has a distinct, visionary voice that... Read the full review »

There’s a bittersweet component that dominates “Obit,” a documentary about the talented journalists working the Obituary desk at The New York Times; a group of writers who themselves are employed by a dying industry. They are all saddled wit... Read the full review »

There’s a certain wickedness to “Buster’s Mal Heart,” a bizarre, unconventional, and unique visual experiment in existentialism that manages to never come across as pretentious nor self-indulgent. Sarah Adina Smith pens and directs this bo... Read the full review »

When I saw that an animated film from Russia was playing at my local theater, curiosity got the best of me so I went to check it out. I have to say it’s one of the latest in a string of “what the hell did I just watch?” movies. If you’ve e... Read the full review »

“Mr. Pig” had a loose working script and it shows. This movie is in need of some serious content editing (the constant drinking scenes, leisurely driving shots and an overly long dinner scene at a pig farm could all be cut to help the story mo... Read the full review »

This badass genre film is one part crime caper plus one part survivalist horror with a big helping of bloody goodness mixed in for good measure. This is one damn intense thriller of a movie from young filmmaker Mickey Keating, obviously a huge fil... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: William Friedkin's 'The French Connection,' is essentially a film where cops follow drug dealers around for almost two hours, so it's frankly a wonder that it's as gripping as it is. Yes this movie really will have you hooked from st... Read the full review »

The unprecedented access to the inner workings of a cult is the biggest strength of this documentary, but even all of that behind the scenes footage couldn’t save “Holy Hell” for me.
Maybe it’s because director Will Allen was a member of... Read the full review »

It’s always exciting to see a film where you instantly know the director and cast are “ones to watch,” and this is one of those movies. “As You Are” is loaded with so much talent and originality that it’s shocking to learn this came fr... Read the full review »

Don’t be fooled into thinking writer/director Jeff Baena‘s “Joshy” is a lighthearted comedy about a bro’s bachelor party weekend in the woods — there are some very serious and somber themes at play here: and I liked it! Almost all film... Read the full review »

In what will inevitably be compared to teen classics “American Pie” and “Napoleon Dynamite,” Indian import “Brahman Naman” is a worthy addition to coming of age comedies. It’s a fun premise: a group of loser quiz team nerds in 1980s... Read the full review »

I wanted to give “Operation Avalanche” a higher star rating because at its core is a really fun and smart and cool idea, but I spent a good chunk of my time looking down at my watch to see how much longer I had to sit in the theater. It’s ne... Read the full review »

Some would say the real American Dream is to get rich quick, and nothing brings a windfall of cash like an old fashioned robbery. Many a film has romanticized the idea of the heist in exact detail, from months of careful plotting to the ideal clea... Read the full review »

Director Brett Haley and his longtime co-writer Marc Basch make sweet music once again in “Hearts Beat Loud,” a beautifully low-key, heartfelt, small scale story of how music aids us in speaking our inner truth. Peppered with catchy original p... Read the full review »

Films don’t often leave me speechless but after the final credits rolled on “Lords of Chaos,” I was so stunned and shocked that I felt like kicking a baby and running to a back alley to throw up. The movie opens with a title card that states... Read the full review »

Harsh Westerns aren’t anything new, but there’s an engaging idea hiding beneath the surface in “Hostiles,” a thoroughly barbaric and bleak film from writer / director Scott Cooper.

January is the time studios tend to dump their most forgettable, bland rubbish into theaters which makes it all the more surprising that the crime noir “Den of Thieves” is actually a quality heist movie. You heard that right: this is a solid,... Read the full review »
