A Revlock Review: THE HATEFUL EIGHT
Tarantino’s greatest strength remains his dialogue. Although the historical setting means no pithy dissections of Madonna or McDonald’s, it’s impressive how he can muster so much tension from ruminative, ornate conversations. His dialogue possesses a pleasing deliberateness that harkens back to the golden age of cinema and reveals by contrast the absence of wit in most modern films...

Emerging Cinema: VOICELESS The Movie
It's no wonder the movie took Necerato 4 years to complete, it's a wonder it came to fruition this soon. After all, most Indie films require ample time to procure funding, and often are delayed due to working around schedules dictated by budget concerns; but then you throw a hot button issue like abortion

Man into Woman: THE DANISH GIRL

Moby Dick Inspired Survivalist Tale with Director Ron Howard Live Twitter Interview Embeds By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay “Thar she blows” now has a more visual meaning for me after seeing Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment’s IN THE HEART OF THE SEA. The movie is based not on Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick” as much as it’s based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s, non fiction book of the same name. Philbrick is a leading authority on the history of Nantucket and the story of the sinking of the 19th century shipping vessel, The Essex, which is a big part of Nantucket’s whaling history. What I really love about most Ron Howard/Brian…

Food and Film: STUDIO MOVIE GRILL Review / Quick The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 Review
A Quick "The Hunger Games" Bottom Line: Kinda glad to be done with this franchise, if it wasn't for Jennifer Lawrence they would have lost me after the 2nd one. I've never been invested in her choice of Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) or Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and President Snow (Donald Sutherland) has been dying inside, spitting up blood since before the games begun, so really all they needed to do was wait out the inevitable and then more easily stage a coup...
