Film Review: Ex Machina

Ex Machina is a fantastic debut from writer/director Alex Garland, whose sci-fi vision is as strong as anyone’s working in film today.

Film Review: Lost River

Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut, Lost River, is a dark tale about fighting for your family and the lengths we are willing to go to keep it together.

Film Review: Man from Reno

Man from Reno is a fantastic, bifurcated detective tale that is full of mystery and secrets from the most unexpected of places.

Film Review: Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter

Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter is an interesting character study of someone going insane, but its pitch black humor can’t overcome the often abstract nature of the film.

Film Review: It Follows

It Follows is a fresh spin on the horror/slasher genre that deals in building affective tension while not relying on jump scares and music crescendos (most of the time).

Film Review: Serena

Serena doesn’t work on almost any level, as the filmmakers let down their stars and an interesting source material.

Bottleneck Presents Nacho Diaz’s Gaming/Movie Mashups

Nacho Diaz’s (@naolito) new art set mashes up gaming and movies in a clever and fun way that fans of the properties will be sure to enjoy.

Film Review: The Salvation

The Salvation is a grim and dark western that makes the most of its stars and straightforward storytelling.

Film Review: Chappie

Chappie tries to do way too much, with way too many sci-fi ideas, but at least it was trying to get out of its derivative core and thinks big.

Film Review: What We Do in the Shadows

What We Do in the Shadows is an episodic and fun take on the vampire & mockumentary genres, but I can’t help but think a bit more polish could have made it even better.
