We’ve all had moments when we sit back and ponder how oh so unorthodox and outlandish or even bold and bright a film can be, only to find out it revolves around a hallucination. The 2007 Shrooms comes to mind as being at the top of the list since it is utterly bizarre, and the […]
Though my favorite genre is not gangster films, I haven’t shied away from them. While my enjoyment seems subdued, I have indeed cared enough to watch a good number of gangster movies. Perhaps now that I think about it, I have always been a fan of monster and horror movies and that hasn’t changed. As

WATCH NOW There Will Be Blood is just not meant to be enjoyed easily. Let’s start with how the viewer gets assaulted even before an image is displayed on the screen. A highly distorted string note is played, invoking feelings of nausea. That’s not the end of it. For the next 20 minutes, the audience

WATCH NOW Roadkill serves as a reminder of just how challenging it is to put a film together. Given how accessible motion pictures are in this day and age, we often overlook the effort that goes into creating quality movies.

They both just got incarcerated when the Monty Python’s Flying Circus decided to do a parody on the two of them in the comedy sketch called The Piranha Brothers aka Doug and Dinsdale. The thing about
WATCH NOW It takes something truly extraordinary for me to be dazzled by an actor, writer, or director, but, with her work on SURVEILLANCE, writer and director Jennifer Lynch earned my deep respect, greatly strengthening my beliefs regarding her unique vision, style, and how she works on a project. It is widely documented that Lynch

WATCH NOW “The Book of Henry” can be classified as part of the Amblin-produced suburban drama for the reason that it depicts children as the hope of America and portrays parents as the total opposites, clueless or completely broken, with “E.T. The extra Terrestrial” being one such title that fits this genre. The aliens in
WATCH NOW The film, as well as the character interactions, was absolutely ludicrous, and not in the good way. What’s this about a prostitute in the film? Oh right, I forgot that the depths of drama and creativity for this movie’s creators reside there. ”Double take” should be called ”Misplaced quotations” because the suspense of
