The Way, Way Back Review
Apparently the only movies I'm reviewing these days are extreme horror films and touching coming of age stories, with the latter being much less frequent but entirely necessary to break up the countless attacks of violence and perversion. Since I've just reviewed Hatchet III and The Purge, indulging in Nat Faxon and Jim Rash's The Way, Way Back was a welcomed change of pace, especially since I was still riding the whole coming of age genre high that was The Kings Of Summer. I mean hell, how could I not be excited after Oscar winning writers/first time directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash floored audiences at Sundance with their wet and wild dramedy, striking a deal with Fox Searchlight for $9.75 million?

Detention Of The Dead Review
"See Mom? You can't be too mad at me for going to detention, it could possibly save me from the zombie apocalypse!" said every troublemaking kid who caught Alex Craig Mann's newest zom-com, Detention Of The Dead. Playing in a much simpler fashion than last year's Detention, Mann's film (which is based on a play by Rob Rinow) feels like a cross between an 80s style high school dramedy and some good old self-aware zombie horror. Basically, if George A. Romero and John Hughes did the nasty, Mann's film would be the demented product. And yes, I know how babies are made, but that's just a hypothetical - you get what I'm saying here.

Press Conference Interview With Mary-Louise Parker On RED 2
Continuing my coverage of the RED 2 press day I attended in New York City last weekend, here's the second star who graced us with her presence - Mary Louise Parker. You know her from such works as Weeds, Angels In America, a bevy of other films, and some theater work, but the next part you'll be seeing her play is Bruce Willis' love interest Sarah in the upcoming RED sequel. More guns, more explosions, more being protected, but most importantly for us, more Mary-Louise Parker.

The Heat Review
It’s not often that I’m honestly surprised by the quality of a film, but I’m going to start this review off on a positive note and say The Heat was a pleasantly riotous surprise in the form of a raunchier version of a Rizzoli & Isles type show. I’m not sure why I doubted director Paul Feig after scoring with his female version of The Hangover, Bridesmaids, but none of the trailers for this hard-R buddy-cop picture tickled my fancy in the slightest – even the profanity laced Red Band trailer. But none of that matters now, because I still have yet to locate my ass in the theater since I subsequently laughed it completely off.

Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Friday The 13th Franchise Die-light Reel
Since we've already paid respects to one of the mightiest Gods of Slasherdom, A Nightmare On Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, Remy and I thought it fit to run down the Die-light reel for another heavyweight slasher champion - Jason Voorhees. Actually, let me rephrase that - The Voorhees family. While most of the kills Remy and I selected for our Friday The 13th Die-light reel do included the hockey mask wearing villain, Mama Voorhees does sneak a kill in of her own. Sure, Jason may not be as creative as Freddy, essentially keeping to sharp objects that can be found around a camp setting, but the deaths he causes are still bloody brutal.

Europa Report Review
Ever since that horrendous excuse for a film Apollo 18, I've seriously soured on the whole “found footage” horror aspect being used in space. Seriously, alien rocks and sleeping astronauts? Thankfully I don’t have to launch into another rant about underutilized “found footage” astronomical horrors though, because Europa Report was an intelligently planned-out slow burn thriller which utilized every bit of claustrophobic atmosphere and focused on the unknown for an infinitely more enjoyable experience. Focusing on the unknown through man’s always increasing curiosity, the horrors came from the boundaries we’re willing to push in order to make that next great discovery – not some baddie in a rubber suit running around munching on crew members.

Exclusive Interview With Director Calvin Lee Reeder On The Rambler
Named one of Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film" in the summer of 2007, no filmmaker has stuck to his guns like Calvin Lee Reeder. Embodying everything that makes Independent filmmaking dangerous and boundary pushing, Reeders' short films and features dare audiences to think in a way mainstream cinema will never achieve, and his latest film The Rambler is absolutely no different. Delving into something full of mummies, gore, dark humor, and an endless journey, Reeder will no doubt challenge viewers to interpret the actions on screen in their own way, leaving a highly ambitious story completely up for full dissection.

Press Conference Interview With Anthony Hopkins And Bruce Willis On Red 2
It's one thing to watch John McClane and Hannibal Lecter share the same screen, but to actually see Bruce Willis and Anthony Hopkins on the same stage in New York City was an absolute treat. So many classic films and storied years were brought together in one simple private conference, all thanks to the genius production team who put together RED 2. For a sequel which some people initially questioned, everybody involved seems to be feeling pretty good about this action flick - and with good reasoning.

Alright zombie fans, tonight was the moment of truth for Marc Forster's World War Z film. After all the drama, the negative publicity, the re-writes, and the re-shoots, we can finally see what the future of mainstream zombie movies looks like. Behold the promised land, and see what $200 million dollars can get you nowadays in Hollywood.

Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Which Celebrities Would You Ride The Rapture Out With?
Did you honestly think Remy and I could watch This Is The End without drafting our own dream team of celebrities to ride out the rapture with? With such an awesome concept and equally awesome execution, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's apocalyptic comedy shows a bunch of celebrities attempting to survive the rapture in James Franco's fortress of a house, and while their ensemble cast was an absolute comedic supergroup, Remy and I just had to put our own spin on the whole "celebrities caught in the rapture" scenario.
