The Dead Don’t Die (Blu-ray Review)

For all the talk of Jim Jarmusch as a pioneer of independent cinema, there’s a lot of fun to be had in speaking about the acclaimed director as a more than capable genre filmmaker.

‘The Dead Don’t Die’… And Neither Does Comedy! (Movie Review)

The Dead Don’t Die… this movie came out of nowhere for me. This was not a highly anticipated film for me in the slightest.

The Old Man & The Gun (Blu-ray Review)

Robert Redford has never been a chameleon-like performer, but there’s something to be said for the way he brings an unflappable cool to almost all of his features, let alone a naturalness to any persona he is tasked to put on. The Old Man & the Gun may or may not be the end of […]

Seven Psychopaths Don’t Take Any Shih Tzu on Blu-ray

Wow!  What can I say about this flick that hasn’t been said before?  It was as the Boss would put it a “Brilliant Disguise.”  More importantly, this is the screenwriting flick for all ambitious writers out there to learn, live and study from for all eternity.  I really can’t say enough good things about this […]

A Snow White Shih Tzu And The ‘Seven Psychopaths’

There is no way around this, so I am just going to get it out of the way now.  One, I loved Seven Psychopaths and I believe it to be one of the best films of the year.  Two, I can easily see how not everyone will love this movie the same way I do.  […]

And on the Seventh Day God Created ‘Seven Psychopaths’ (Movie Review)

Wow!  What can I possibly say that fellow staffer Aaron Neuwirth is not going to mention in his extensive review of Seven Psychopaths?  Well, for starters, this film is brilliant.  Pull away the many layers and what you obviously have is a masterfully crafted screenplay by the film’s co-producer and director, Martin McDonagh.  I guess […]
