Aquaman and the Last Kingdom: The DCEU Goes Out With a Shrug
The nicest thing one can say about Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is that this DCEU product is the last movie in the franchise.

Aquaman Review: Sea Sludge or Swashbuckling Adventure?
Aquaman doesn’t dare take itself seriously, and it’s a better movie for it.

3 Days to Kill Review
Alarmingly misguided, horribly directed, astoundingly racist, and insanely incomprehensible, the McG/Luc Besson/Kevin Costner team-up 3 Days to Kill best's last week's previous low water mark set by Winter's Tale as the worst major studio release of 2013 so far, leading us further down one of the worst starts to any year in film history.

Machete Kills Review
Eschewing the straight-laced (and sadly often boring) grindhouse aesthetic of its predecessor, Machete Kills dives headlong into off-the-wall comedy like it probably should have done in the first place. It’s still way too long and the energy considerably flags towards the conclusion, but at least the laughs are fairly consistent throughout and there’s hardly anything that can be called a lull in the action and gags.
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane Review
It only took seven years since it's debut at TIFF to get released in North America, but the teen slasher All the Boys Love Mandy Lane has aged quite well.

Paranoia Review
Other potential titles for the abysmally idiotic thriller Paranoia that must have been taken: “Patently Implausible on This or Any Other Earth,” “Captain Obvious,” and “Seriously, Guys, Is This Some Sort of Joke?”
Syrup Review
Farce is hard, but thankfully despite a couple of flat jokes and a low budget, Syrup is a fast paced, engaging, and amusing send up of corporate advertising.
Contest: Win a Run-of-Engagement Pass to See SYRUP in Toronto!
Enter for a chance to win one of four run-of-engagement passes to see the comedy Syrup in Toronto (starting Friday, July 12th), courtesy of Dork Shelf and VSC.
Drive Angry Review
Cigars, whiskey, sunglasses, a naked waitress straddling a clothed, but unzipped Nic Cage, the line “I never disrobe before gunplay”, gunplay, sex, sex and gunplay and whiskey and cigars at the same time. This is the sort of thing you will find in Drive Angry, the newest film in Nic Cage's long and illustrious oeuvre, and this is just one scene.
Drive Angry Red Band Trailer & Exclusive Stills
We're unabashed fans of Nicolas Cage and his eccentric oeuvre at the Shelf, so when we heard about his new film Drive Angry we we understandably excited. Cage plays Milton, a man who fights his way out of Hell and returns to Earth in order to avenge the death of his daughter. Did we mention that it's in 3D? That's right, pissed off, undead Nicolas Cage kicking asses in 3D. Do we really need to say anything more?
