If you’ve ever wanted to watch a direct-to-video post-apocalyptic
western starring former MMA champion Gina Carano directed by the guy who helmed
Sliding Doors, today is your day. Take a gander at the
trailer for Scorched Earth, which delivers just what I
promised.

The Top 15 Movies Of 2017
Every year, I debate whether or not to make a year-end
best-of list. I hate ranking movies (or giving them grades for that matter),
and where a movie falls, or even what’s included, varies day-by-day, even
hour-by-hour depending on my mood and what I remember.

Action,
Bad Black,
City of Ghosts,
Colossal,
Get Out,

'Mom And Dad' Trailer: Nicolas Cage Sings The Hokey Pokey And Smashes A Pool Table With A Sledgehammer
Somehow, and I’m not sure how this happened, I never knew
that what my life really lacked was Nicolas Cage, screaming “The Hokey Pokey,”
while smashing a pool table with a sledgehammer. I know, I know, that should
have been obvious from the word go, but it took this Mom and
Dad trailer to make me see the light. But now I have, and it is
glorious.

'In The Fade' (2017) Movie Review
I’m here all day for Diane Kruger fighting Nazis. The only
problem with Faith Akin’s In the Fade is that, instead of
focusing on that part of the story, it turns into a middling Law &
Order episode.

'Molly's Game' (2017) Movie Review
As a writer, Aaron Sorkin has an ability to make me care
about topics I don’t usually give two shits about. I’m not particularly
interested in the d-bags who created Facebook, but The Social
Network makes that story as compelling as it’s going to get. The same
goes for Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), Sabermetrics (Moneyball),
and Tom Cruise as a lawyer (A Few Good Men). His directorial
debut, Molly’s Game, for which he also wrote the script,
follows a familiar pattern.
'Den Of Thieves' Trailer Is The Most Macho Thing You'll See All Day
I should know better by now, I really should, but I can’t
help but be irrationally excited for Den of Thieves. I know,
I know, it’s a mid-January action movie that looks dumb as shit and macho
beyond belief, but it also looks 100% my jam. Watching this new trailer, I can’t
help myself, I giggled and clapped the entire time.

'Love And Saucers' (2017) Movie Review
Earnest is the best way to describe David Huggins. He’s an
affable elder gentleman who works part time in a Hoboken deli, spends his spare
time painting, and, oh yeah, lost his virginity to an extraterrestrial. Documentaries
are often only as interesting as their subjects, and Brad Abrahams’
Love and Saucers: The Far Out World of David Huggins
certainly has an eccentric focus.
