SunDance "Blue Valentine"

BLUE VALENTINE - SUNDANCE 2010 This tale of a disintegrating marriage - think Revolutionary Road with the narrative structure of Godfather II - features a truly remarkable performance by Ryan Gosling.

SunDance "Get Low"

GET LOW - SUNDANCE 2010 Truth be told, this 1930's era fable/folktale might have made my best of fest had I given it the attention it truly deserved. When attending these festivals, quality sleep is rare. And sometimes, good films are a casualty of this fact. Of all the films I saw at Sundance t... [More]

SunDance "7 Days"

7 DAYS - SUNDANCE 2010 While often repellent and unsettling, this provocative look at revenge (and capital punishment), is eye opening, powerful, and haunting.

Spider-Man News

SPIDER-MAN RETURNS! Sam Raimi and Toby Maguire have left the Spider-Man franchise, and while Spider-Man 3 wasn't exactly a great note to go out on, it still made a gazillion dollars making Sony's decision to part ways with Raimi and crew a bit puzzling. Still, if Raimi had to leave, at least Son... [More]

Shallow Day Goes Viral!

SHALLOW DAY PRESENTS AN ENTIRELY NEW LOOK AT TWILIGHT! Shallow Day hails from St. George, UT. Not exactly a breeding ground for commercially viable rock acts, but perhaps the poppy, accessible stylings of Shallow Day will change that. If this clip is any indication, they're well on their way. T... [More]
