In January 2015 The Witch came to the Sundance Film Festival and knocked pretty much everyone flat on their asses.

4-time Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe has some thoughts about why Robert Pattinson, the rumored star of Matt Reeves' upcoming The Batman for Warner Bros. Pictures, has an important quality to bring the capped crusader to the big screen. "He's got a strong chin. That's a part of it," Dafoe told Variety during a chat at Cannes about Lighthouse, […]

I started watching Netflix's Russian Doll expecting another Groundhog Day story – well, it totally is, it's even marketed as such – with Natasha Lyonne (who 's always funny and watchable no matter what she's in) and found instead a show about the East Village in Downtown New York City. As a lot of reviewers have already […]

The film stars Dafoe as famed and crazed painter van Gogh told through his letters, from the eye of director Julian Schnabel. The supporting cast is really the intriguing thing there, with Oscar Isaac […]

Full disclosure: I love Streets of Fire. I've loved it since I was a kid, and I love it as an adult. It labels itself as a Rock 'n' Roll Fable, and it plays out like an extended music video. If you've never heard of this '80s masterpiece, check out the trailer below. To give […]

The Great Wall might have amazing armor designs and decent cinematography but it can't escape the 90's era CGI or the basic story.

Well if nothing else the ambivalently awaited fantasy film, The Great Wall, has achieved one amazing feat – it's released a trailer that's probably the first to run longer than Cloud Atlas' 5 minute, 42 second trailer back in 2012.

Keanu Reeves is a hit or miss kind of actor for me. I can think of a handful of movies he was in that I like… the original Matrix, The Replacements, Point Break… the list is not long. He's not an actor that will get me to go see a movie because he's in it. […]

This may be the first Keanu Reeves movie I go to the theater to see in years. In Lionsgate's latest film John Wick, Reeves plays an ex-assassin who got out of the game only to have the mob randomly take everything away from him including killing the dog his dead wife had given him before […]
