BLACKKKLANSMAN
“You cannot laugh and be afraid at the same time, and the devil cannot stand mockery.” Stephen Colbert’s words on election night 2016, or those like them, figured strongly in Spike Lee’s conception of BlacKkKlansman. […]

Bite-size horror for those who enjoy their shocks in smaller doses, Deathgasm Producer Ant Timpson’s thematic follow-up to the ABCs of Death focuses on the myth and folklore that has pervaded centuries of fear. An […]

FILMWORKER
A film about film obsessives for one in the same, Filmworker offers a portrait of the one and only Stanley Kubrick that is, as elusively as just about any of the master’s output, a portrait […]

YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE
All the pieces did well to come together for this one. Hired muscle, vigilante, however you want to look at him Joaquin Phoenix’s Joe is a figure to be reckoned with who’s all about the […]
BEIRUT
Not even trying to be too realistic, your thriller of the week has taken a trip to the Middle East. Flash US diplomat Mason Skiles (Jon Hamm), ten years following a tragic end to his […]
