The 2016 Seattle Film Awards Winners

2016 saw the establishment of the Seattle Film Nerd Party Club (actually, it’s the Seattle Film Critics Society, but I’m going to keep using my preferred moniker until it sticks, so get used to it). And like every other critic’s group, we have our own awards. The nominations came down a while back, but today brings the announcement of the winners of the 2016 Seattle Film Awards (I have my fingers crossed for a live cable-access telecast hosted by the ghost of J.P. Patches for next year).

Brent's Top Ten Horror Movies Of 2016

It’s the last week of 2016, I don’t have any reviews to write, Carrie Fisher just died, and the whole world is covered in shit. For some reason, these bleak circumstances seem a wholly appropriate place to drop a list of my top horror movies of 2016. There are certainly some grim times to be found among these titles.

Brent's Top Ten Movies Of 2016 [UPDATED]

Without fail, some people grouse about how that particular 365-day journey around the sun was a bad year for movies. 2016 is no exception, a circumstance made all the more egregious because so many giant blockbusters sucked ass or, perhaps even worse, wound up inane and tepid and unmemorable in every regard.

Movie Review: '10 Cloverfield Lane'

Since it came out in 2008, there’s been chatter about a follow up to found footage creature feature Cloverfield. Just a few months back, the notoriously mysterious Bad Robot dropped a surprise trailer for something called 10 Cloverfield Lane (up to that point it had been developing under the working title Valencia), which appeared to be, at least tangentially, related to the earlier film. To be honest, it’s really a sequel in name only. While Cloverfield is big and bombastic—and, in my opinion, wildly overrated—10 Cloverfield Lane is a small, taut, claustrophobic psychological thriller with a serious Twilight Zone vibe. If it wasn’t for the title, there’s very little to connect it to its predecessor, but that doesn’t matter because it’s a damn good time.

Super Bowl Spots For 'Jason Bourne,' 'Batman V Superman,' 'Captain America: Civil War,' And More

I was out of town to watch that boring ass Super Bowl, so this is a few days late, but, as usual, the big game played host to a number of promos for big upcoming movies. Some are imminent, others are a ways off, but there was some cool shit to be seen. Way more interesting than the game, that’s for sure. Hit the jump to see some of the best and brightest.

First Trailer For Bad Robot's Mysterious '10 Cloverfield Lane,' Plus Poster And Release Date

Well, the Bad Robot mystery box is back at it again. There’s been talk of a secretive Cloverfield tie-in coming for some time, but we just got a new trailer, poster, and imminent release date for the project, apparently called 10 Cloverfield Lane (it was earlier known by the title Valencia). Who knows how this connects to the found footage monster movie, or if that’s just a tease, but this first look is something I’m totally into.
