LONDON HAS FALLEN Trailer: "I Want You To Kill Me." Whatever You Say, Mr. President!

The unluckiest American president in history returns in a new trailer for London Has Fallen, which lays waste to a great city and gives a bunch of good actors an opportunity to earn some pocket change. Gerard Butler also returns...

Opening: AUTOMATA, Intense And Gripping Science Fiction

Spanish filmmaker Gabe Ibáñez's long-awaited second feature Autómata is an intense and gripping dystopian story, bordering on European surrealism within a classical narrative. Certainly, many current films present a weary and negative view of humanity's future, be it death by...

Fantastic Fest 2014 Review: AUTOMATA, Surreal Science Fiction At Its Best

Review: I've Fallen For OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN

Butler and Freeman Talk Terrorism in OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN Featurette

Happy holiday weekend most of North America! Up here in Canada various provinces have a holiday Monday and south of the 49th Parallel our friends in the States will have Presidents Day! What better way to kick off the festivities...

Handsome Bodyguard Protects Handsomer President. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN Trailer

In recent years, ever since Sylvester Stallone brought back John Rambo from hibernation, 80's and 90's beefcake action seems to be back in vogue and I for one applaud that trend.The ever popular "Die Hard in a..." genre of action films...

Review: The Perks of THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER

Emma Watson, appearing and sounding distinctly Pittsburgh-ian "damaged goods," yet as radiant and irresistible as ever, stands arms outstretched, head back, hair billowing in the 50 mile-per-hour night wind. She is moving, even as she is clearly moved, in that...

Watch: Stephen Chbosky Talks THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER
