Losers!… But life’s giving us a chance.” -Peter Quill Here we are ten movies deep into Marvel’s little experiment that began with Iron Man in 2008 and the machine just keeps on rolling. After pulling off a momentous achievement with The Avengers, things started to taste…

Lucy Review
What happens when humans unlock the mysteries of the unknown 90% of the brain? A simple question Hollywood has explored over and over with the likes of Limitless among a slew of other films. It may be an idea that has been debunked by a number of experts, but Fifth Element director Luc Besson is taking a shot…
X-Men: Days of Future Past Review
“Are we destined to destroy each other, or can we change each other and unite? Is the future truly set?” -Charles Xavier Fourteen years ago, the up and coming director Bryan Singer tackled a genre that had yet to be defined when he directed X-men. He grounded this band of unusual suspects with a down to…
PFF 2014: Boyhood Review
We are living in the age of great coming of age stories with so many indie and Hollywood movies finally making their break. Just last year we saw three exceptional films with The Spectacular Now, The Way Way Back, and The Kings of Summer all releasing to box office success and critical acclaim. Back in 2002…
PFF 2014: The Sacrament Review
Writer/director Ti West is quickly becoming one of the biggest faces in modern horror thanks to his success with House of the Devil and V/H/S. He’s quickly established his roots as a filmmaker who covers the real horrors such as cults, stalkers, and lunatics that haunt our everyday world. His latest film The Sacrament is taking a very different look at cults…
PFF 2014: Joe Review
Nicolas Cage has undoubtably had a less than thrilling career over the last few years with the actor taking on such atrocities as Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengence, Season of the Witch, and Drive Angry. It’s been a while since the actor took on something a little more challenging and both critics and audiences have been begging the…
PFF 2014: The Big Ask Review
*When this film opened at the festival it was titled “Teddy Bears” but was later picked up by a distributor who renamed the movie “The Big Ask” There are a lot of comedies out there featuring young twenty something couples, but very few of them aim to be more than just a sit com. Teddy…
PFF 2014: God’s Pocket Review
We’ve already mourned the loss of the fantastic Phillip Seymour Hoffman earlier this year and only a couple of months later it’s still sad to think that we won’t be seeing his outstanding work in very many more films in the future. Luckily for filmgoers and fans he had a number of movies coming down the…
Noah Review
“He speaks to you. You must trust that He speaks in a way that you can understand.” -Methusela It’s been a few years since bible stories have been a thing in Hollywood, but with movies like Son of God, the upcoming Exodus, and this weekend’s Noah, we are in the middle of a resurgence of the biblical epic genre….
The Grand Budapest Hotel Review
Wes Anderson is at it again in The Grand Budapest Hotel with his oddly characterized storytelling that’s reminiscent of off beat stage plays. If you’re reading this review, chances are you know exactly what I’m talking about. Anderson has an irrefutably signature style that includes very symmetrical camera work, a dry as sand; quirky as…
