It’s pretty simple. There’s a big-ass storm starting to hamme the East Coast tonight, so why not watch a movie about a bigger-ass storm hammering the East Coast? It’s like the better version of all the news coverage we’re getting over here. More »
So The Artist was a big deal during the awards season of 2011, but I’m willing to bet a lot of you didn’t go out to see it. I know I wasn’t particularly stoked about paying up to go see a silent movie in theaters, but someone dragged me. More »
You may have heard about the Kickstarter-borne Indie Game: The Movie back around it’s release in May, but it’s worth bringing up again for two reasons: it recently came to Netflix, and man is it ever a fantastic watch. More »
As we collectively prepare ourselves for Adele’s Bond song to become insufferable and before we start wondering if Daniel Craig’s traps are CGI’d in the next Bond movie Skyfall, let’s pay homage to the original Bond movie: Dr. No. It’s been 50 years since Sean Connery first showed us who James Bond was and it’s the movie that still serves as the benchmark for them all.
