Director Robert Budreau Talks Stockholm and the Strange Absurdity of it All
Pat Mullen speaks to director Robert Budreau about his new movie Stockholm, which reunites him with Ethan Hawke following their 2015 Chet Baker biopic Born to Be Blue. It’s a strange but true tale that playfully reinterprets the landmark case.

The Drop Review
The Drop is a solid character based thriller with a heck of a twist.
Passion Review
Watching Passion, the latest film from noted auteur and generally inconsistent filmmaker Brian De Palma, feels a lot like getting caught watching low-grade 1980s softcore Cinemax porn by a fatherly figure that lets loose a giant fart when he walks into the room.

Prometheus Review
A forced attempt to resurrect the Alien franchise, Prometheus disappoints with a jarring combination of stunning visuals and a terribly half-baked script.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Review
I have a new hero, and her name is Lizbeth Salander. She is smarter than most men give her credit for; tougher than her dark and heavily pierced exterior would ever lead you to believe; she is damaged, but she fights back. And she knows how to bring the most evil of men (and the […]
