Night Moves is a pointless, dry tale that attempts to speak volumes through minimal effort - a rare case where "less is more" fails on a devastating scale.
Don McKellar seduces audiences with visual beauty and small town charm, but the distractions quickly lead to a formulaic feel-good story without much depth or intrigue.
Under The Electric Sky is a fun backstage pass for EDC fans, but for DJ haters it'll just be a loud, obnoxious headache - so they should just stay away and let everyone else eat, sleep, rave, and repeat.
Cold In July is Jim Mickle's best work yet, as this Southern-fried thrill ride leads audiences on an ever-changing journey with a tasty, make-you-wanna-slap-yo-mama twist.
While American war movies are created every year, telling courageous stories of legendary heroes, we often lack an international perspective on other pivotal battles in military history. Hollywood has a specific audience and focus, so it's always nice when foreign directors attempt their own patriotic swan songs - and the most recent example of this is Russia's Stalingrad.
Cabin Fever: Patient Zero certainly lives up to Eli Roth's gory standards, but individual enjoyment will hinge on one's love of schlocky B-Movie antics.
While horror anthologies have recently become more commonplace, V/H/S really become the first surprise indie hit to kickstart the fad. Movies like The ABCs Of Death and The Theater Bizarre have since terrified with their own unique anthology ideas, but V/H/S made the ballsiest move of all by taking horror's most overplayed subgenre - found footage - and turning it into a spooky centerpiece. Despite my qualms, I still found V/H/S ripe with positives, giving directors a gleeful genre playground to run about freely - and V/H/S/2 only upped the ante.
Hot on the heels of their ambitious horror anthology The ABCs Of Death, Drafthouse producers Ant Timpson and Tim League decided that the world needed another collection of horror shorts spanning every letter of the alphabet - and adventurous horror fans much like myself rejoiced. The ABCs Of Death 2 was greenlit, the directors were selected, and the inevitable waiting game began.
The 80s were a grand period for action and martial arts, and one of the most pivotal players in the action genre was none other than Jean Claude Van-Damme, but unfortunately it looks like one of his most iconic turns is going to be remade without his Brussels-influenced badassery. While searching for financing at Cannes, producer Brian O’Shea revealed that 1989's Kickboxer will be remade by a foreign filmmaker, a young stuntman and a duo of WWE/UFC stars.
