Heres where we take quick close-up looks at the latest in independent cinema… Youll find those movies here as well, and hopefully well point you in some intriguing cinematic directions. The movie is lifeless as a piece of film and actively offensive as a recreation of history. The U.S. Supreme Court did more for gay rights this year than Emmerich andStonewallever will. Sam Worthington and Kyle Soller are frightening as the home invaders....
The Walk is now playing at the New York Film Festival. For millions, including I suspect director Robert Zemeckis, the glistening spires evoked that same kind of majesty. Gordon-Levitt also plays well with Charlotte Le Bon in the role of Annie Allix. Like Philippe, Annie is a Parisian street performer. And that awe is exactly what the final 25 minutes of the film delivers. Rating: 3.5 out of 5

So, what gives? It is knowing that Romeo and Juliet are (400-year-old-spoiler alert!) both going to die before they even meet. Not because everyone knows the story ofRomeo and Juliet, but because Shakespeare puts it right in the prologue. Dude knew how to rock some dramatic irony. And so doesThe Flash… The success of dramatic irony in The Flash. Iris admits she has feelings for Barry, and finds out he isThe Flash....
Contains spoilers forThe Magicians Apprentice,The Witchs FamiliarandGenesis Of The Daleks. Do I have the right? Thats dialogue from a rightly celebrated scene in a similarly popularDoctor Whostory:Genesis Of The Daleks. Indeed, nor can a lot of fiction. Do the ends justify the means? He leaves Davros to his fate, which is an ambiguous act. Does the Doctor think through his actions? Does he just flee instinctively? If he thinks about it, what is he hoping to achieve?...
When Syfys Dominion is firing on all cylinders, it’s hard to beat. Here’s my review of season two’s penultimate episode. Okay, so this was a pretty intense episode. But last weeks dreams and hallucinations were not ephemeral. Claire tells David that losing her baby made her lose the will to fight. Their romance in the first season was both genuine and rather sweet. As Ive mentioned before, I admire Claires sense of purpose....

One of our other new protagonists, Tommy, is another bright spot in this premiere....

But arent these fiends becoming just a tad over-familiar by now? Ad content continues below Theres certainly no shortage of pre-existing alternatives. All valid objections, but its a great mistake to dismiss the genre outright. Robot Monster (1953) First up, Ro-Man. Love struck, Ro-Man begins to questions his orders, with dire consequences....
The National Lampoon documentary brings back repressed memories of guilt-free pleasures. When I was a kid, I got two life-changing castoffs from my grandfather. The first came from when he was a gravedigger at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Brooklyn. Years later, he was a garbage man and would occasionally bring me shopping bags full of comic books. I was eight, they blew my mind. They didnt stop me, but they knew....
After last years historic run,Empirehas finally returned. In the music world, the sophomore slump is a well-established jinx. Basically, the mantra of this first episode seems to be if it aint broke, dont fix it. Everything fans loved about season one is present in this first episode. Its just the prologue. Ad content continues below In particular, Im sad to see Gaddis go so soon. Chris Rock was interesting casting for the part....
