There’s something pretty cool about seeing an indie director with a knack for human drama take on a genre film. Okay, so that applies to almost any newbie director handed the keys to a franchise, but how about one who has developed the story himself and is allowed by a studio to make such a […]
So few directors can infuse the story of a struggling, down on his luck musician with so much unapologetic dark humor and persistent optimism.

Living a squanderous life of some […]

I promised myself I wasn’t going to do this. Since Austin did not screen Star Wars: The Force Awakens for us prior to its release like glorious Los Angeles did for all my friends out there I told myself no way was I going to write a movie review for free about a film entry […]
Chris Hardwick, “BACK AGAIN!” he says! The crowd cheers, this is the biggest panel today in Hall H. People have filled in every little blank and gap. “This is an experience just this group of us will have for the rest of our lives.”

Well, we’ve been waiting what seems like forever for this moment since it was made “official” not too long ago. This is our second and a meatier look at STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, the seventh film in the official Star Wars saga. It was unveiled today at Celebration, the big time Star Wars convention. […]
Girls, Girls Girls. You hear a lot about this show, whether it be good, bad or “controversial”. Having watched the show…I really don’t understand how this show is controversial at all.
