Swiss Army Man

(Sean Ferguson) 10/4/2016 11:33 PM EDT
There have been so many moments while watching movies that I complain endlessly about the lack of creativity in Hollywood. Well, for the first time, I have to admit this is not one of those films. Out this week on Bluray is Swiss Army Man, starring Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine, Looper) and Mr. Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliff. (A... Read More

The Purge: Election Year

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/4/2016 11:14 PM EDT
In theory, The Purge was an interesting and unique premise. No conscience for one night. Everything is legal including murder. The most anyone can hope for is to survive 12 hours of madness and mayhem and for those causing it… to enjoy their freedom. While the concept was great the reception wasn't what the ... Read More

His vision takes the modeling world and turns it into an Avant-garde horror film.J... Read More

Cell

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 9/27/2016 11:06 AM EDT
As a commentary on today's world where most of us are in a zombie like state staring at our electronic devices instead of interacting with those around us, Cell is a meaningful look at what we as a society have become. As a movie based on a Stephen King Novel of the same name, it is a horrible mess that makes little sense. It's ... Read More
