I love classic Disney cartoons.  Do they tell the stories accurately?  Not even remotely.  Do they stay with you in song and visuals for most of your life?  YEP! When director/actor Jon Favreau announced his intention to do a new version of the Rudyard Kipling story The Jungle Book, I was surprised.  We’d had a live […]

Not many people will see this film, and it’s a crying shame.  Director Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club, Young Victoria) has created a beautiful ode to the weird and sometimes damaging way people deal with the loss of a loved one.  This film should be nominated (and win) so many awards, the directing and editing alone […]

Rarely does a film’s opening credits tell the audience exactly what sort of experience they’re in for. Hardcore Henry does exactly that with in-your-face, cringe-worthy, gleeful detail. It also implies that it’s about to offer a cinematic experience unlike any other; a declaration it lives up to. Told you it was in your face. You star as […]

The world of book-to-television shows can be a scary place.  We’ve been pretty spoiled in the grand scheme of things, and a good show runner can make all the difference in a good adaptation.  Luckily for fans of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, we got Battlestar Galactica‘s Ronald D. Moore and STARZ. Season one of Outlander went […]
