New on Video: ‘What?’

Jeremy Carr May 19, 2016 0
What? is simply not the type of film one expects from a director as skilled as Roman Polanski. At best, it is for a curious few or a devoted Polanski completest (the only reason I’ve now seen it twice).

Thomas O'Connor May 19, 2016 0
Look, if you're living in a sci-fi or fantasy setting....just don't go to schools. Seriously. In prettymuch any genre environment, schools are ground zero for more kinds of dangerous, messed-up stuff than you can imagine. Want to go to…

Josh Bull May 19, 2016 0
When the third generation Pokemon games were released, I had found myself moving away from the series. I was getting a little older and, like many teenagers, I didn't want to associate with things from childhood. I feel like a lot of fans…

‘The Walking Dead’ Is Getting a Theme Park Attraction, With Help From Greg Nicotero

Thomas O'Connor May 18, 2016 0
Personally, I like a screen to be between me and any flesh-hungry zombies, real or otherwise. I don't need some animatronic ghoul making eyes at my kidneys, no sir. But a lot of people have more mettle than me, and for those people…

‘Civil War II’ #0 is ‘Minority Report’ with superheroes

Logan Dalton May 18, 2016 0
Civil War II #0 definitely has a "prologue" feel and not much in the way of action or twists other than the president of the United States saying that he wants James Rhodes to take his spot in the future. (There is a little bit of a…

Thomas O'Connor May 18, 2016 0

Zornitsa Staneva May 17, 2016 0
Last year, we got underdog “Dheepan” and “Dheepan” got the Palme D’Or. This year, the same day saw the bourgeois artifice of Pedro Almodóvar’s uninspiring “Julieta”, “Aquarius” from Brazil that fetishes its glamorous, ageing bourgeois…
