Only God Forgives Review
I love attempting to collect my thoughts before a film review and organize a structure to follow, only to mutter the phrase "How the f#ck am I supposed to review this film" over and over again. What movie, you ask? Oh, why a little flick called Only God Forgives, which got ferociously booed at Cannes.

Criticsm Vs. Bullying: Rex Reed’s V/H/S/2 Review Is A Slap To The Face Of Film Criticism
Well, well, well - we meet again Rex Reed. Last time I found myself writing about your brash, mean-spirited commentary which unjustly attacked Melissa McCarthy for absolutely no reason, and despite wanting to boil over like a covered pot of spaghetti, I kept myself fact based, professional, to the point, and lacking of the cheap personal attacks you lowered yourself to using. I thought "Maybe this was one slip up. Maybe Reed will clean his act up. Maybe Reed will just slink away into the sunset like a respectful professional."

Roundtable Interview With Michael Cera And Sebastián Silva On Crystal Fairy
While summer blockbuster season is upon us, and large-scale spectacles are being released every week, there's a little film called Crystal Fairy that has provided one of the most unique watches of the summer. Independent to the core and full of heartfelt creativity, Michael Cera takes us on a journey of psychedelic self-discovery, with the help of a wild spirit named Crystal Fairy (played by the magnificent Gaby Hoffmann).

Five Up/Five Down: The Best And Worst Of 2013 Horror So Far
Here we are, about halfway through another year of horror movies, and I'm happy to report things are going rather swimmingly. 2012 was a bit of a let down honestly, as I found more movies to hate than love. Looking back on the crop of films I've already sat through in 2013 though, I can honestly admit the quality is better than expected (so far). Much, much better actually, considering how many remakes have been pushed out (so far). This year could have easily spiraled into a dark, depressing slump of continually bad Hollywood remakes, but a few directors have redefined the way we look at these inevitable remakes and reboots. Mix that with some gutsy, inventive films that dare to push boundaries, and the 2013 horror game is shaping up pretty damn well.

George A. Romero’s Day Of The Dead To Be Remade…Again
Can someone please lock up all of George A. Romero's zombie properties so people will stop remaking them? Honestly, the only decent remake out of the bunch has been Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead, as the rest have been nothing but unwanted hack-jobs which don't hold an ounce of relevance next to anything The Zombie Godfather has made. So what's the most recent remake Romero fans are going to be tortured with? Why none other than 1985's Day Of The Dead, which has already suffered a recent remake defacing.

Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Six Lesser Known Horror Films You Shouldn’t Have Missed In 2013 (So Far)
With so many movies out there, it can really be a chore to watch every single worth-while piece of cinema. Think about all the genres that exist. Seriously, think about them. Then you have to look at sub-genres, which provide enough material on their own for months on end, and how the hell are we supposed to pick out every little gem that doesn't get a wide release?!

First Curse Of Chucky Trailer And Updated Release Date
While Fiona Dourif's small glimpses into Don Mancini's latest Child's Play sequel Curse Of Chucky were very much appreciated by fans who were worried about what type of Good Guy doll we'd be getting this time around, we finally have our first genuine look at the Chuckster back in action with the release of the first trailer for Mancini's upcoming film. A picture is worth a thousand words, but let's be honest - a trailer is worth a million.

Crystal Fairy Review
It's easy to think like a transcendentalist, bound by the shackles of a controlling humanity. We're people dammit! We're not meant to be sitting in generic cubicles, pecking away at keyboards like slaves only to make some company boatloads of money (which a majority of the population will never see). Humans at our most animalistic should be free-roaming beings embracing all the wonders of life, living our lives with vigor, passion, love, and wild abandon. There has to be more to life, and those thinkers will do anything to find it. It's ideals like those that Sebastián Silva explores in Crystal Fairy, along with the walls we hide behind - blaming others for our own struggles with inner insecurities.

Byzantium Review
With so many of these young adult novel movie adaptations being churned out, and with so many being about vampires, I just assumed Byzantium was just another fluffy picture about struggling vamps and sparkly skin. Then I found out director Neil Jordan, the director of Interview With A Vampire, had the reigns on this one, and my faith in Byzantium showing some fangs increased enough to spark some intrigue. Could Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton provide a vampire duo worthy of their typically dark title? Or would Neil Jordan's latest fall under the ongoing trend of lifeless vampiric lore? Spoiler alert: it's somewhere in the middle.

Under The Bed Review
What do you get when you mix the mystical fun of Joe Dante with the gross brutality of Wes Craven? If you asked me that question about a week ago, I would have been hard-pressed to find an example, but now that I've seen director Steven C. Miller's latest release, I can instantly answer Under The Bed. Written by Eric Stolze, this fresh take on the boogeyman who hides under your bed carries itself in two very distinctive ways, mostly existing as a fantastical creep-fest featuring grabby monster hands and rooms filled with smoke - until a finale that morphs into a gore-filled creature feature. Miller's film is creative, fun, full of brutally attractive practical effects, and an undeniably entertaining take on a story that's been re-interpreted for years. Want to know what goes bump in the night? You're about to find out.
