I have been a supporter of the vision of writer/director Duncan Jones since his auspicious debut in 2009.  With two unique films, Moon and Source Code, he gave me hope for the future of cinematic science fiction.  His work is compelling and evokes a time when   ...

Nothing is sacred and no one is off limits to the jabs taken in Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, a mockumentary-style send up to the extravagance of modern pop stars and the hollow music documentaries that seem all the rage these days.  Even The Lonely Island ...

While Hollywood can only offer up mediocre sequels this Memorial Day weekend, the debut feature from writer-director David Farr (screenwriter of Hanna and the excellent adaptation of John le Carré’s “The Night Manager” for AMC) offers viewers a very severe case ...

Bryan Singer’s entry into the super hero genre at the turn of this century should never be underestimated. It was in an era when Warners had well and truly screwed the pooch with the Batman franchise, the only Marvel movie on offer was Blade (and what an offering  ...
