Following up from his theatrical debut, Blue Ruin, director Jeremy Saulnier could’ve taken any route he wanted. And he chose to make Assault On Precinct Nazi, which is absolutely fine because he turns out a film with enough force to confirm himself as a director to watch out for. Green Room is the new best siege movie, with enough intensity and unrelenting violence to satisfy any genre fan.

Back in the early 2000’s, Dave Chappelle reigned supreme on Comedy Central with his sketch comedy show “Chappelle’s Show.” It was witty, hilarious, and incredibly smart. When he walked away from it, and the millions of dollars that Comedy Central supposedly threw at him to stay, the network was quick to find a comedian that could fill that void. The question was, could Comedy Central ever find someone even with half the talent that Chappelle possessed?

by Henry Hill

“During the 1980s over 70% of American adults believed in the existence of abusive satanic cults… Another 30% rationalized the lack of evidence due to government cover ups…The following is based on true unexplained events…”

Sometimes a movie comes along that has been out for several years before you discover it, and immediately after watching it, you want to tell all your friends about how much you liked it. 2009’s Horror The House of the Devil is one of those films. It was recommended to me by a friend, and after watching it, I highly recommend you do the same. Fans of the horror genre clamoring for movies like the classics of the 80s will especially enjoy Ti West’s twisted tale.

Following the surprise hit of The Winter Soldier, a film that many argue is the best MCU film to date, there was a lot of anticipation for The Russo Brothers’ return to the franchise with Captain America: Civil War, taken from the iconic comic book of the same name. Not only do the Russos prove their capabilities within the MCU in the lead up to Infinity War, but they kick off Phase 3 with a bang, leading to one of the most mature Marvel films so far.

In these days, CGI, or computer generated imagery, is so common that we actually yearn and gravitate towards old school practical effects.   Spike Jonze adapted the famous children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” using people in giant costumes to portray his monsters instead of fully rendering them with computer graphics and the original “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, definitely not “The Hobbit” movies, used as little CGI as possible.   Every so often, a movie comes along that pushes the bar further for what CGI is really capable of achieving.  Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” is that very movie.  It is a visual masterpiece and a great retelling of the famous Disney cartoon.

It was only a matter of time before DC comics wanted in on the whole established super hero universe that Marvel has done so successfully since 2008.    Sure, they have “The Dark Knight Trilogy” which resulted in an Academy Award for Ledger, a first for a super hero film, and the fact that many people look at it as not only one of the best films of that genre but one of the best films of all time.  DC wanted to see if they could keep up with Marvel in that regard, did they do it?  Continue reading →
