Right now, if you put Tessa Thompson or Lakeith Stanfield in
your movie, I’ll watch it, whatever it is. Both actors are on one hell of a
roll at the moment, and I can’t wait to get my eyes on Sorry to Bother
You. The satiric indie sci-fi comedy has been a 2018 festival darling
already, and this new trailer gives a few hints as to why.

'Under The Shadow' Director Grabs Armie Hammer For Horror Thriller
Here’s your splash of good news for today: Under the Shadow director Babak Anvari has a new thriller in the works. It
doesn’t have a title at the moment, but it does have a promising concept and a
star in the person of Armie Hammer.

'Free Fire' (2016) Movie Review
A filmmaker most known for dark, often nightmarish, genre-bending
films, Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire is his most accessible work
yet. Inspired by mean-spirited 1970s B-movie shoot-em-ups—obviously pulling
from a similar pool as Tarantino did for Reservoir
Dogs—Free Fire is ultraviolent, laugh-out-loud
funny, and jubilantly vicious, if a bit slight.

Good Lord, Ben Wheatley's Giant Crab Monster Movie 'Freakshift' Keeps Getting Better And Better
Ben Wheatley’s bang-bang shoot-em-up, Free Fire, hits theaters this weekend (my review goes up tomorrow if you
feel so inclined to check back), and as such, the director’s been on the press
trail. This means that there’s been ample opportunity for people to ask him
about his upcoming Freakshift, and the more he says, the
more a movie that already sounds unbearably rad keeps getting better and better.

Two International 'Free Fire' Trailers Use All Of The Bullets
Any time Ben Wheatley makes a movie it’s going to be near
the top of my must-see list, regardless of what genre umbrella it falls under.
And the idea of the genre-bending maniac Brit responsible for Kill List, High-Rise, and Sightseers
making a 90-minute shootout is more than enough to make me sweat. And if I wasn’t
psyched enough, two new international trailers for Wheatley’s latest,
Free Fire, more than do the trick—this includes a Japanese
trailer that’s totally bananas.

'The Birth Of A Nation' (2016) Movie Review
It’s rare that a single word accurately describes an entire
movie. But in the case of The Birth of a Nation, Nate
Parker’s dramatic reenactment of Nat Turner’s 1831 slave rebellion, one word
keeps springing to mind: raw. And I mean raw in damn near every sense I can.

Ben Wheatley's 'Free Fire' Red Band Trailer Is An Epic Free-For-All Shootout
Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire doesn’t hit
theaters until 2017, but it’s making the rounds on the fall film festival circuit,
and the first reactions just hit after it debuted last night at the Toronto
International Film Festival. And to keep the hype train rolling (though I don’t
need anything more than “new Ben Wheatley movie” for a Pavlovian response to
kick in), a red band trailer showed up as well. (Oh, and there’s a trippy new
poster, too.)

Ben Wheatley's 'Free Fire' Finds A Distributor, Sounds Totally Badass
One of my most anticipated movies of the year is Ben
Wheatley’s High-Rise. Reviews out of the Toronto
International Film Festival, where it debuted, were mixed, but it looks right
up my alley, I adore the J.G Ballard novel that serves as the source, and
Wheatley is the perfect director to bring it to the big screen. We still have a
while to wait for High-Rise, but anytime Ben Wheatley makes
a movie, it’s near the top of my must-see list. And now we have word that he
has another, Free Fire, on the way. It just got picked up
for distribution, which means we’ll get to see in in theaters for ourselves,
and it sounds damn near perfect.

'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' Movie Review: Sometimes Slick And Fun Is Good Enough
If you’ve ever seen a Guy Ritchie film, especially the likes
of Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking
Barrels, you won’t be surprised by what you get in his update of the
1960s spy serial The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. Fast-paced and
energetic, full of handsome heroes and a sultry villainess, and hyper-stylized,
this isn’t a particularly deep movie, but it is an entertaining espionage romp
that provides a decent amount of amusement.
