Many fights have started among my friends with ...

Directed by André Øvredal and written by Bragi F. Schut Jr and Zak Olkewicz, The Last Voyage of the Demeter is exceptionally well done. It is brooding and darkly realized, bringing to life “The Captain’s Log” chapter from a chapter from Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel, a chapter which is somewhat ...
“Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?” If one needed to sum up who Quentin Tarantino was in one word, I think the best one would be “pioneer.” He ushered in a new wave of film that is replicated over and over again, ad nauseum, until the entire pool is over saturated with ...
Let’s get this out of the way right off the top. I Saw the TV Glow is a pretty difficult watch, but one that has its rewards for those who stick with it.

The journey begins with a series of hallucinations; a smoky reefer-saturated mess of colors that spiral out as the jungle setting is surgically snipped by the blades of helicopters crisscrossing the image. Then, the landscape suddenly explodes. Fireballs shoot up from the ground and the frame dissolves ...
