Maybe the most disappointing thing about this film is that it has nothing to do with The Rolling Stones. Gimme Shelter is actually a small scale drama, based on a true story that details a time in the life of a troubled, pregnant teenager, after she ran away from her abusive mother, in an effort […]
Parts Per Billion tells the story of three couples which are forced to make life altering decisions in the face of a disastrous war that threatens to destroy the human race.

Finally some more Spike Lee “joints” are getting the love on Blu-ray. The Spike Lee Joint Collection features two volumes and four films. I don’t know if there is any more planned beyond these two releases, but I hope its the start of something. This first volume of the set covers 1998’s He Got Game […]

I guess I’ll go on record by saying Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is probably one of my most anticipated flick’s of the year. I don’t know whether it’s going to be good or bad, but what I have seen thus far has not disappointed me. Quite the contrary! All the footage I […]
This doesn’t make up for Oldboy, but alas someone is finally digging into Spike Lee’s back catalog of films. And, funny enough, I now need to write a new piece for next week’s ‘Wishlist’ article as it was going to be for The 25th Hour which now sees a release date of June 10! It also […]
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Oliver Stone’s epic historical drama Alexander, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release Alexander: The Ultimate Cut Blu-ray™ on June 3.

Simply put, I call that the hardships of life. And much like Stoker, movie goers and critics alike have given Trance […]
Trance hit theaters in limited release this past April and won me over (review HERE). As a big fan of Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) and his constant decisions to make every one of his films wildly different than his last in terms of plot, despite having a very distinct style, I enjoyed […]
Aaron, Liz and Sean try to wrap their minds around this new drama from director Danny Boyle. Starring Aaron Fink, Liz Manashil and Sean Wright. Directed by Amy Taylor. Auctioneer Simon is injured in the midst of an art heist. Unable to remember the details of his crime, Simon is forced into hypnosis. But as […]
I love how in the dark I was about this movie. The reason I jumped at the chance to see Trance is because I love Danny Boyle’s work, as he always tackles a new genre and injects his kinetic style into it. This generally makes for a film that is quite unique, regardless of its […]
