We caught a preview screening of the Wachowski’s latest offering at the Rave in University City, and I think it’s fair to say we were both underwhelmed by this space opera thing. As this unclassifiable epic crawled to a dismal “have your cake and eat it” finish, I was reminded time and again of “Matrix” sequels and “Star Wars” prequels: dull blockbusters bursting at the seams with elaborate set pieces and…

This week Anthony Hamilton serenaded Anika while Lucious proposed marriage (Did you see that ROCK!?). Only thing is, the proposal looks to be yet another strategic Lucious Lyons move as he needs a written clean bill of health to give to the insurance company, before Empire…

A Revlock Interview: Kevin MacDonald – BLACK SEA
Interview with Director Kevin MacDonald for Latest Movie “Black Sea” By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor – MIKHAIL REVLOCK Kevin MacDonald is nothing if not ambidextrous. With almost metronomic regularity, the Scottish director alternates between shooting fiction films and documentaries. Though he might not be a household name in the states—he is quick to confess that he has yet to produce a “hit”—MacDonald does not lack in prestigious accolades. One Day in September, his gripping account of the Munich Massacre, netted the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2000.
