There are few movies that fit the definition of “cult classic” better than the Evil Dead trilogy — The Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead II (1987), and Army of Darkness (1992). In particular, the latter two films became legendary for their supremely entertaining blend of horror and comedy personified in the performance of Bruce Campbell […] Read more
There is a minute-long shot in the final minutes of The Assassin, a historical drama by Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien, that is focused on a herd of goats chewing the grass. It’s not an establishing shot because several scenes have already taken place on this farm. It doesn’t seem to provide any commentary on the […] Read more
As a horror movie directed by Eli Roth and starring Keanu Reeves, Knock Knock was far off of my radar. That being said, the film did not build a strong case for me to pay much attention to any of these three in the future. When Evan Webber’s (Keanu Reeves) family goes to the beach […] Read more
Bridge of Spies will likely not be counted among the greatest films of Steven Spielberg like Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schlinder’s List, and Saving Private Ryan (just to name a few masterpieces), but it is an extraordinary Cold War drama that will certainly elbow its way up to the upper […] Read more

It has been years since people have been truly excited for a Johnny Depp Film. The famous actor has had a string of duds leaving audience goers with little confidence in future releases. With his new film based on the exploits of famous Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, it’s easy to understand why one would continue […] Read more
Pawn Sacrifice is a Cold War-era biopic that stars Tobey Maguire as Bobby Fischer, an American chess Grandmaster, as he takes on the Soviet Union’s greatest player, Boris Spassky (Liev Schreiber).
