Hail Macbeth: Essential Viewings for November-December
The fall/winter film season is upon us and we are really excited to see the films studios have been hoarding all year. Seriously, it's not fair that we had to sit through two Adam Sandler films before we even got to see Steve Jobs.

As far as English language debuts go, this … Continue reading Action Cinema: Snowpiercer

There are some … Continue reading Misfire: That Awkward Moment

I told her I wanted to make an "experimental" film about capturing a sense of emotion and she was more than up to the challenge. Her … Continue reading Original Works: Kelsey
The Underrated Thrills of Speed Racer
It was the summer of 2008 and blockbusters were still a strange breed in Hollywood. To put this in perspective, Shrek 2 was still in the top 5 of the highest grossing films ever made. Iron Man hadn't come out to set up the Marvel Universe, Spider-Man 3's bad reputation still left a bad taste … Continue reading The Underrated Thrills of Speed Racer
