Korean Thriller 'Insane' Trailer Is Dark And Grim


The idea of being locked up for a crime you didn’t commit, or being institutionalized when you know you’re not crazy, the victim of sinister exterior forces, is fertile cinematic territory. Insane, Korean director Lee Cheol-ha’s new thriller, looks to dive deep into this realm, and there’s a tense new trailer to check out.

Movie Review: 'Gods Of Egypt'


Alex Proyas’ new film, Gods of Egypt, is straight up bonkers. That’s the impression given by the trailers and TV spots and the overall, weird-as-shit aesthetic, but nothing, not the promotional material, not even a handful of strong LSD, will prepare you for the insanity that unfurls before your eyes.

This 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Trailer Gives You A History Lesson


It’s been 30 years since the last Mad Max movie, and if you somehow forgot that, or it’s just been a while since you’ve revisited the original trilogy, director George Miller and company are back with another trailer for the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road that pays homage to what came before. But don’t fret, it’s still batshit crazy and full of a grip of cool new footage.

'Mad Max: Fury Road' TV Spots Are Full Of New Footage And Mayhem


Mad Max: Fury Road is just over a month away, and every time I think I can’t be more pumped for this, they go and do something crazy like drop these two new international TV spots and a bunch of new posters, and it’s like it’s all the first time I’m hearing about this all over again. So check out all of that and try to contain your drool.

'Furious 7' Movie Review: Over The Top And Entertaining As Hell


Watching Furious 7, the latest installment of the adrenaline-fueled Fast & Furious franchise, you get the distinct impression that, when faced with a creative choice, the filmmakers paused to ask themselves, “What’s the most insane, over the top thing we can do here?” And then they went ahead and did that. For a series of films that, especially over the last few chapters, has been a continual escalation in physics-defying stunts, Furious 7 takes it to an entirely new level, and the result is a damn lot of fun.

Sweet Baby Jesus This 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Trailer Is Insane And Incredible


Seriously, I didn’t think I could be more excited for Mad Max: Fury Road, but then they went ahead and released this new trailer, and I have to admit that I’m even more stoked for George Miller’s return to the post-apocalyptic wastes than I even thought possible. By the time the May 15 release date rolls around, I’m going to be foaming at the mouth.

This 'Roar' Trailer Is The Wildest Thing You'll See All Year


Well this is totally insane. If you lament the fact that there are not enough people living among lions in order to lend an air of authenticity to their films, you might want to check out this trailer for the rerelease of 1981’s bonkers Roar. For eleven years, real life couple Tippi Hedren and Noel Marshall, with a very young Melanie Griffith, Hedren’s daughter, in tow, filmed an epic wilderness adventure in their own back yard, and that’s exactly what this film looks like.

'Lucy' Movie Review

Abandon all logic ye who enter here, because we are about to start talking Lucy. You might want to leave reason and science by the door while you're at it, you won’t have much call to use either of those for the next 90 minutes or so. French action auteur Luc Besson has made his version of 2001, or at least his Tree of Life, and it is a wild, wild time. People are going to walk into what they think is a Scarlett Johansson-fronted action movie and have their minds broken. This is very much not the movie you were led to expect, but goddamn if it isn’t a total freaking blast. There will be those who laud this as the most fun movie of the summer, while others will condemn it as complete and utter nonsense, and somehow they’ll both be right.

'Spring Breakers' Movie Review



Admittedly I’m having a difficult time sorting through my feelings about “Spring Breakers.” To call it half incredible and half annoying sounds hyperbolic and doesn’t tell you anything real about the film, but walking out of the theater, that sums up my reaction. If it feels like indie auteur Harmony Korine (“Kids,” “Gummo,” “Trash Humpers”) made a modern sexploitation movie about bikini girls with machine guns in the vein of a Monte Hellman flick, then you’d be right, because that’s precisely what this is. The film alternately screams and whispers “Spring Break,” in both a literal and metaphorical sense, for the entire run time.

'A Good Day To Die Hard' Movie Review



We first meet little Lucy and Jack McClane in John McTiernan’s “Die Hard” all the way back in 1988. It’s now 25 years and four movies later, and though we met grown up Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) a few years back in “Live Free of Die Hard,” there’s been nary a peep from adult Jack. Well all that just changed with “A Good Day to Die Hard,” or “Son of Die Hard” as I’ve been calling it in my head since we first learned about the main plot point.

'The FP' Movie Review


“The FP” is like watching the hyper active, sugar fueled bastard child of “The Warriors”, Japanese pop culture, and a hillbilly bounce all over the screen. Let me clarify that. “The FP” is one of the loudest, most ridiculous, entertaining movies I’ve seen in a long, long time. Because you know what movies like “The Warriors” always lacked, the only real thing they needed? Dance fighting, that’s what, clam chowder. The Trost Brothers, writers and directors of “The FP”, have rectified that situation.
