There have been many zombie comedies from Return of the Living Dead to Shaun of the Dead and Cooties. I get the appeal. You get to have fun with outrageous situations and lots of gore, and Little Monsters puts a fun twist on it. David (Alexander England) is a stoner loser whose girlfriend (Nadia Townsend) […]
I was actually in Park City the day I heard Anton Yelchin died. I attended Filmquest specifically so I could visit Park City during the summer, having attended so many Sundance Film Festivals. I was walking down Main Street checking my phone and stood in front of the Egyptian Theater in shock. Now Love, Antosha, the […]
Colette was a movie I enjoyed at Sundance 2018 and found the story of author Colette (Keira Knightley) badass and empowering. It came out on Blu-Ray last month nearly a year after its Sundance premiere. This period piece looks great on blu Ray. You can see all the costume detail in HD and the locations […]
Searching is in my top three of the year. I saw it at Sundance and thought it was extraordinary. We’ve seen cheap horror movies on computer screens. The reason Searching works is that it would work as a mystery without the computer screen. The computer screen is just a natural environment because we’re so used […]
I saw this film at Sundance when it was just called Sidney Hall. It moved me then with its three pronged narrative of an author (Logan Lerman) coming to terms with his success and his past. The new title The Vanishing of Sidney Hall certainly makes it sound more intriguing, and it is accurate, so […]
Patti Cake$ was one of my favorite movies at Sundance last year and I was hoping it would get a big release. It kind of came and went in the summer but I’m hoping now that it’s on Blu-ray, people will discover it. The soundtrack alone is addicting, a mix of original rap and power […]
If you’re looking for a different sort of horror movie for your Halloween marathons, I’ve got one for you and it’s a Criterion Collection to boot. I saw The Lure at Sundance 2016 and if a Polish musical about killer mermaids sounds as wonderful to you as it did to me, you should be just […]
Patti Cake$ was a big hit at Sundance. Fox Searchlight bought the film and will put it out in theaters. Danielle Macdonald is the breakout star as Patricia Dombrowski, an aspiring rapper in New Jersey. Macdonald is Australian and shared how she became Patti Cake$. “I had never rapped,” Macdonald said. “I just got asked […]
The world premiere of Columbus, the debut feature of director Kogonada, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. It was an emotional film for the audience, featuring moving performances by John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson. Speaking about the film at the Q&A, Richardson couldn’t hold back the tears. Read what she said before she let […]
Aubrey Plaza had two movies at Sundance, The Little Hours and Ingrid Goes West. We were at the premiere screening for Ingrid Goes West, a comedy starring Plaza as a social media obsessed woman who stalks her favorite Instagram star. After the movie, Plaza spoke about producing both films. “We started working on Ingrid Goes […]
