Domino (2019) Review: A Losing Game of Bones

Jason Gorber — Fri, 31 May 2019 15:00:55 +0000

There are many things disheartening about Domino, a below average terrorist thriller that feels more like a misjudged TV movie than the work of an iconic director. Such has been Brian De Palma’s fall from grace, the result is a movie that can’t find theatrical distribution and is being relegated to various VOD platforms to...

The penultimate episode of Game of Thrones feels in many ways like the climax of the entire series. After watching it, the biggest question I had is what the show’s seemingly countless disgruntled fans would find to complain about in this one. Following the death of Missandei, Daenerys somehow managed to restrain herself from flying...

Daniel Craig swears that he’s done playing James Bond, and just turned down a huge payday to return as secret agent 007. Who should replace him? Shannon Nutt While I still think that Craig will re-up for one more Bond adventure, my vote for the new James Bond is Chiwetel Ejiofor. I think we can...

‘Gods of Egypt’ Review: Visually Stunning, Otherwise Vapid

Philip Brown — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 14:00:43 +0000

Alex Proyas’ career started so well. Things kicked off with the stylistically iconic (if deeply tragic) ‘The Crow’ and then Proyas seemed to find depth to match his style with the delightful mindfuck ‘Dark City’.
