Release: Friday, September 2, 2016 [Theater] Written by: Derek Cianfrance Directed by: Derek Cianfrance Derek Cianfrance has emerged once again with another sweeping, emotional epic, this time The Light Between Oceans, an adaptation of the 2012 international bestseller by M.L.

Release: Wednesday, March 4, 2016 [Theater] Written by: Robert Carlock Directed by: Glenn Ficarra; John Requa The civilian translation of this film's odd title applies to this strange concoction in more ways than I'm sure the filmmakers intended. I left the picture feeling more confused about American relations with the Middle East than I did entering it. Perhaps that's the … Continue reading Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Experienced Aussie actor Paul Eenhoorn was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about his most recent role as Colin in last summer's delightful and breezy buddy-comedy adventure Land Ho! The film tells the story of two former brothers-in-law, Colin and Mitch (Earl Lynn Nelson) who take a much-needed trip to … Continue reading Actor Interview: Aussie Paul Eenhoorn talks ‘Land Ho!’
Release: Friday, April 10, 2015 [Netflix] Written by: James McFarland Directed by: Kriv Stenders Simon Pegg embraces his inner baddie and Kill Me Three Times is somewhat better because of it. 'Somewhat' is the operative word here as Pegg, even in a killer role (e-hem), isn't enough to make the film worth watching. Too choppily paced to be considered an intentional … Continue reading Kill Me Three Times
Release: Friday, August 7, 2015 [Theater] Written by: Joel Edgerton Directed by: Joel Edgerton The Gift is a kind of addictive drug. The more of it you consume the more of it you want. Considering this is the first time Australian actor Joel Edgerton has been in full control of a project, that may seem hyperbolic. However, the logic follows. … Continue reading The Gift
Release: Friday, May 15, 2015 [Theater] Written by: George Miller; Brendan McCarthy; Nico Lathouris Directed by: George Miller For a lesser population, what a lovely day it is indeed, a day in which a franchise is reborn. To anyone else not attuned to what was once a legitimate excuse for Mel Gibson going crazy, Mad Max: Fury Road feels like what a … Continue reading Mad Max: Fury Road
Release: Friday, April 24, 2015 [Theater] Written by: Andrew Knight; Andrew Anastasios Directed by: Russell Crowe Guided more by passion than a need for coherence, Russell Crowe's directorial debut is strong enough to ensure there will be projects forthcoming from the Academy Award-winning Aussie. Crowe busies himself by taking on the lead of, funny enough, Australian farmer Joshua Connor … Continue reading The Water Diviner
Release: Friday, November 28, 2014 (limited) [Redbox] Written by: Jennifer Kent Directed by: Jennifer Kent It's official. I'm in love with horror once again. It's some kind of feat the hype surrounding Jennifer Kent's much-acclaimed horror film has gotten to the point where it feels like watching the 'scariest film in years' this far into 2015 is, yeah, a little like … Continue reading The Babadook
