‘Westworld’ 2.05 Recap: “You Know the Old Saying About Knives and Gunfights”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 22 May 2018 12:00:44 +0000

The ads for this week’s episode of ‘Westworld’ looked epic and the network marketing promoted it as a mind-blower. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a pretty big disappointment. We last saw Maeve and her crew two episodes ago, which left off with them being attacked by a samurai. Maeve, Hector and Armistice are confused...

‘Pacific Rim: Uprising’ Review: The Apocalypse Has Been Uncanceled

Luke Hickman — Fri, 23 Mar 2018 17:00:36 +0000

The original ‘Pacific Rim’ had no right to be any good, but in the hands of a strong filmmaker (who now has an Oscar to back him up), it ended up being a very satisfying and all-around entertaining blockbuster. With trailers that look just as unappealing as those for the first movie did, I hoped...

‘Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter’ Review: There’s More to Life Than a Little Money, Don’tcha Know That?

Philip Brown — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 15:00:59 +0000

There’s a tragic, strange and often forgotten postscript to the Coen brothers’ masterpiece ‘Fargo’. The filmmakers put a “Based on a True Story” credit at the start of their movie as a wry in-joke. The production was always phony-baloney, but the credit seemed like an amusing wink to offer knowing audiences. Unfortunately, some sad soul...

Weekend Movies: You Wouldn’t Believe It If I Told You

Luke Hickman — Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:00:01 +0000

Almost everyone is aware of that big ‘Hunger Games’ knockoff in theaters, but did you know that Sean Penn has an action movie opening and that the ‘God’s Not Dead’ folks are back? The ‘Divergent’ series continues with ‘Insurgent‘, this time in 3D. The studio dropped ‘Limitless’ filmmaker Neil Burger for the sequel and replaced...

Now Playing: Out on a ‘Rim’

Bryan Kluger — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:00:52 +0000

Robots, monsters and Ron Perlman. Oh my. Director Guillermo del Toro gives us the movie that we’ve wanted to see since we were five-years-old. In an action-packed and brilliant visual effects spectacle, we have giant robots fighting vicious monsters on Earth. As a fan of genre films who knows how to tell a great story...

Weekend Movies: It’s January, So Nothing Promising

Luke Hickman — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:00:52 +0000

Well, folks, it’s that dreaded time of the year: January. Every movie that the studios didn’t have faith in hits the big screen in January. Occasionally, we’re blessed with a ‘Cloverfield‘ or a ‘Zodiac‘, but this sure isn’t shaping up to be one of those years. At least, definitely not this weekend. Will Hollywood please...
