2019 Golden Globe Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 17:00:09 +0000

Last year, the Golden Globes gave out trophies to James Franco and Aziz Ansari. Which of this year’s winners will soon be embroiled in sexual misconduct scandals? I’m really worried about Carol Burnett! I kid, of course. It’s probably going to be Christian Bale, isn’t it?. Sadly, that seems the most likely. He gave a...

‘Storks’ Review: Missed Delivery

Philip Brown — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 17:00:25 +0000

Boy, there sure are a lot of talking animal cartoon movies these days, huh? Barely a month passes between these things anymore, and unless Pixar or Illumination is involved, they tend to run the gamut from mediocre to miserable with little variation. The new addition to this endless genre is ‘Storks’. It’s about those storks...

‘Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping’ Review: Totally Dope

Philip Brown — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 15:00:54 +0000

Ever since ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ created the modern mockumentary form, comedy filmmakers have chased the dragon of that dumbbell music doc spoof. The subject matter is just too rich. Over-privileged morons ranting about their greatness between song parodies? That’s funny in the bank. It’s pretty much impossible to match the ‘Spinal Tap’ magic, of...

The Trailer Park: Time to Pick a Side!

M. Enois Duarte — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 19:00:23 +0000

This week’s batch of trailers showcases some movies that will split audiences everywhere, starting with the big battle between Iron Man and Cap! ‘Captain America: Civil War’ The Cap is back with another action-packed preview that should leave fanboys salivating at the mouth. I’ve always had more of a mild interest in the superhero, but...

Statuesque: The 2013 Also-Ran Awards – Spirits & Razzies

Josh Zyber — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:00:20 +0000

While the world turned its eyes to the Oscars this past weekend, a couple of the film industry’s alternative awards ceremonies – the Spirits and Razzies – also pressed on, even though no one pays any attention to them anymore. Honestly, I forgot all about them until just now. As originally conceived, the Independent Spirit...

Now Playing: Raunchy + Stupid = Sandler

Luke Hickman — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:00:06 +0000

I used to be a huge Adam Sandler fan. ‘Bill Madison’ and ‘Happy Gilmore’ were family favorites growing up. (This makes more sense if you know that I only have brothers.) Unfortunately, Sandler has become known for relentlessly releasing terrible family movies one after the other in recent years. Now, he’s too far gone. Nothing...

Sundance Journal: ‘Celeste and Jesse Forever’

Luke Hickman — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:00:42 +0000

Many cynics complain that Sundance’s selection process has become more about celebrities than about introducing new artists. If that’s truly the case, there’s an upside to it. Known faces appear in films outside their norm and try new aspects of filmmaking. Sure, most of us already know Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg, but ‘Celeste and...

Sundance 2012 Preview: The Premieres

Aaron Peck — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:00:20 +0000

The Premieres section is probably the most popular slate of films at Sundance. This is because the movies usually have ensemble casts along and well-known directors. Many are still independently produced, but they’re usually picked up quickly by distributors. As expected, the Sundance Premieres lineup for January features a long list of who’s who in...
