Hannibal Episode 3.2 Recap
Hannibal's heartbreaking “Primavera” is an episode about the brutality of framing.
Slow West Review
Slow West is a thrilling debut and a worthy addition to the list of recent revisionist Westerns that already includes The Proposition and The Assassination of Jesse James.
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl Review
Me and Earl and the Dying is a funny, charming, sweet yet sometimes sad little indie film that's sure to be well received despite its faults.
Jurassic World Review
Jurassic World spends much of its time both playing with the tropes of the original film and messing around with our expectations. At its best, then, it’s lots of fun.
Home Entertainment: Kingsman Review
Matthew Vaughn's finest film to date, Kingsman: The Secret Service looks great on Blu-ray and comes complete with a feature length making-of doc, something which is all too rare these days.
Video: Game of Thrones Episode 5.9 Recap
Joel Minty joins Peter Counter to talk about some of the crazy stuff that went down in season five's penultimate Game of Thrones episode, named after Martin's fifth book "The Dance of Dragons".
Hannibal Episode 3.1 Recap
Hannibal's beautiful season three premiere lets us in on Dr. Lecter's insatiable need for attention.
Aloft Review
Claudia Llosa takes us on an ethereal, sleepy, at times inexplicable, sub-arctic journey into the mystical world of healing in her English language directorial debut, Aloft.
Spy Review
In a year where espionage films seem to be everywhere, Spy is a welcomed spoof of those familiar archetypes, and a perfect star vehicle for Melissa McCarthy.
Insidious: Chapter 3 Review
Insidious 3 will please fans of the series with familiar characters and chills, but surprisingly is also the most emotional and heartfelt chapter to date.
Entourage Review
The Entourage movie kicks over the neat narrative piles the show swept up, only to clean everything back up again, making the film feel even more redundant and unnecessary.
Hungry Hearts Review
Oddball writer/director Saverio Costanzo takes the typically warm concept of maternal love and transforms it into something twisted, possessive, and at times downright terrifying in the genre experiment that is Hungry Hearts.
Dark Star: H.R. Giger’s World Review
This documentary serves as a eulogy for the late artist/ designer H.R. Giger, most famous for his work on Ridley Scott's Alien. Dark Star: H.R Giger's World is an examination of the art and the artist in the twilight years of his life.
Aloha Review
Cameron Crowe's ensemble rom com Aloha has all the ingredients that should make audiences love it, but the script feels sloppy, with a beginning that's too messy and an ending that's too clean.
