Posted by: Tony Hinds  •  August 20, 2015 @ 7:13am

Every now and then, a small independent film manages to break through the cracks in the towering wall of entertainment available to our fickle culture. Like some little engine that could, it attracts critical praise and audience attention through its sheer brilliance, and without some huge marketing campaign.

Review: Da Sweet Blood of Jesus

Posted by: Tony Hinds  •  July 6, 2015 @ 12:29am

A Spike Lee Joint. I always smile when those words grace a film's opening. It's not a credit we can always expect as Lee occasionally chooses the more drab, "a Spike Lee film," when embarking on potential money makers. Some for better, such as Inside Man, and some for worse, such as his regrettable remake of Chan-Wook Park's Oldboy.

Review: One Missed Call

Posted by: Mark McLeod  •  January 11, 2008 @ 4:22am

Once again, moviegoers and critics alike find themselves in January, the month where the Hollywood awards begin to be handed out and the number of new offerings at the local multiplex begins to diminish.

Interview: James Gunn, writer/director of Slither

Posted by: Mark McLeod  •  April 4, 2006 @ 5:22am

In Hollywood things go in cycles. For the longest time, horror was box office poison -- a genre mainstream audiences avoided in droves and was frequented by a small but dedicated group of fans. All that changed when Scream hit screens in 1996, and what's followed is an almost non-stop barrage of horror movies.
