Review: THE COLD LANDS, Blink and You'll Miss a Terrific Performance From Lili Taylor
Often, films challenge morals: what is right, what is wrong, and what happens when you pick a side. There are times, however, when nothing is resolved yet the question lingers throughout the film. This is the baffling case of The...

Quentin Tarantino sure loves making top lists. Aside of his contributions to the Sight & Sound polls, there's Tarantino's favorite films since Reservoir Dogs, spaghetti westerns, grindhouse films and even death scenes and killer movie moments. While his genre knowledge...
Review: INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 Teeters On The Edge Of Horror Hokum
Less nerve-jangling than nerve-nudging, Insidious: Chapter 2 nontheless tweaks horror conventions with verve and surety of craft, taking the sequel into the realm of confrontational thrillers with a supernatural twist. It is a very bizarre realm, indeed. James Wan has...

Hollywood Beat: Lessons From THE CONJURING, R.I.P.D., THE ACT OF KILLING, ONLY GOD FORGIVES, And More
Are there any lessons to be learned from The Conjuring winning -- and R.I.P.D. losing -- this weekend's box office? Oh, just the same ones that were offered up last weekend, and many weekends before that: K.I.S.S.: Keep It Super-cheap,...
Review: THE CONJURING Will Scare You, Not Scar You
Let's be blunt: most wide-release horror films are bad. They tend to be either watered-down, teen-friendly PG-13 mediocrities that aren't scary; or gruesome, R-rated endurance tests that aren't scary either. It almost feels miraculous when something genuinely scary finds its...
Hollywood Beat: PACIFIC RIM Did Not Fail This Weekend; FRUITVALE STATION More Relevant Than Ever

Hey, Chicago! Wanna See THE CONJURING For FREE This Monday?
I really like James Wan. Some dislike him simply because they loathe the Saw franchise. I'm not a huge fan of the sequels but I found Saw gripping all the way to the end and fairly funny to boot. I...
Watch A Half Dozen New Clips From THE CONJURING
James Wan's The Conjuring is drawing near-universal praise from those who have seen it early and perhaps emboldened by that fact an even half dozen new clips from the film have been released online. Check out the latest chiller from...
The Trailer For THE CONJURING Gives Me The Creeps
In many ways James Wan has been the victim of his own success. Though he never returned to the world of Saw after the enormously successful first installment it seems as though Wan lived in the shadow of that initial...
Trailer for THE CONJURING Aims To Scare You By Clapping
I applaude the framing of the above image taken from James Wan's new horror film, The Conjuring. Yet the trailer also has the unfortunate side effect of reminding me how much more emotionally attached I was to the children's games...
Review: ABOUT CHERRY Presents the Cute, Fluffy Kitten Version of Porn
It gives me no great pleasure to write this review. About Cherry is the directorial debut of Stephen Elliot, author of the novel Happy Baby and the superb memoir, The Adderall Diaries. How I didn't realize this until after I...
