REVIEW: You’ll Enjoy Picking Out The Layered Allegories in MOTHER!
“They understand it, but it affects them in different ways,” says Javier Bardem’s adored, renowned poet of his crowds of sycophants in writer-director Darren Aronofsky’s MOTHER! This is a glaring clue that what you’re watching isn’t meant to be viewed in any sort of superficial manner. No, it’s much deeper and complex. While this line holds all the subtlety of an anvil dropping, it doubles as the … [Read more...]
REVIEW: BRAD’S STATUS – Feeling Restless, Suffering From Midlife Malaise
It’s one of life’s complicated, dirty little secrets: It’s in our nature to be jealous of our friends’ achievements. Of course, you’re overwhelmingly happy for your friend. However, when they upgrade their lifestyle, it’s only natural to wonder how you too can make your hopes and dreams materialize. You’ll reflect on what you could’ve done – or what you should be doing – better, but ultimately … [Read more...]
Beyond Fest V Announces Its Killer Line-Up!
There’s nothing better than a good film festival to celebrate the best in film. One of the weirdest, wackiest and wildest genre festivals in Los Angeles is Beyond Fest. Over the past five years, this festival has brought us some crazy and clever films – and got the cinephiles out from their sleepy hibernation. Last year, we covered THE MONSTER, THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS and ARRIVAL and this year … [Read more...]
REVIEW: You Bet Your Fur IT Will Scare The Living Daylights Out Of You
“Sometimes it comes a little sooner, sometimes it comes a little later...but it always comes.” Puberty is scary enough, let alone if you have a malevolent entity shaped by your own personal set of fears terrorizing you. But welcome to the world of Stephen King’s IT! While the author’s twelve-hundred-page tome had previously been adapted as a menacing, albeit terribly truncated TV mini-series, … [Read more...]
REVIEW: I DO…UNTIL I DON’T – Don’t Say Yes To This Mess
Actress-writer-director Lake Bell channels Woody Allen in almost every sense with her latest feature, I DO...UNTIL I DON’T. Neurosis and charm co-mingle, taking the shape of a screwball-lite romcom about domesticity, marriage and monotony. While it holds some resonance, you might find yourself saying “I don’t,” until “I do.” Pretentious documentarian Vivian (Dolly Wells, who’s needlessly … [Read more...]
Here’s What You Should Know About Pixar’s “Coco”
"Coco", Pixar's first original film in two years, is the studio's "love letter to Mexico" and unlike anything the studio has ever done before. Coco stars an all-Latino cast (Gael García Bernal, Benjamin Bratt, Renée Victor, and newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) and is set during Dia de los Muertos, a two day holiday that takes place November 1st and 2nd, where families honor and remember loved ones who … [Read more...]
A Picture Walk Through Walt Disney Family Museum and “Deja View: The Art of Andreas Deja”
A Disney Villain must be frightening, with a touch of humor, in order to both make audiences fear and cheer them. One of the most memorable, and in my opinion, iconic villains to date is Scar of "The Lion King". Not only is Scar voiced by one of the most legendary actors of our time (Jeremy Irons!!!), but everything about how he looks, moves, acts... it's just genius. It should come as no surprise … [Read more...]
REVIEW: LOGAN LUCKY Puts Steven Soderbergh Back In The Pole Position
Welcome back, Steven Soderbergh! Oh how we’ve missed you so! Not to sound overly dramatic, but the four years he’s been on a cinema sabbatical of sorts have felt like an entire era of not being allowed to have nice things. He gave us his all and we took it for granted. In the time since, the rise of exposition, convoluted narratives, and thinly drawn character arcs have overtaken the marketplace – … [Read more...]
When Fun Moms Get Together (Giveaway)
This post is in partnership with Momentum Pictures. Oh, motherhood. It's beautiful, fulfilling, wonderful, joyful... but also stressful, nerve wrecking, boring and will drive you insane. Especially those early years. Oh my goodness, I cannot tell you how many times I was *thisclose* to running away from everything and everyone.
