You messed with the wrong cybernetic lawman, Mr. Pocket Square.
My review of Babak Najafi's Snabba Cash II, the middle chapter of a Swedish crime trilogy, is up today on The Dissolve.
Haale Gafori and Ali Suliman in a surreal film inspired by the experiences of Hani Zurob.
My review of Mars at Sunrise, documentarian Jessica Habie's fictionalized account of Palestinian artist Hani Zurob's imprisonment, is up today at The Dissolve.
Flame-Spitting Revolver and Craig Fairbrass co-star in The Outsider.
I had some fun reviewing the dreary revenge/action pic The Outsider, starring a burly Brit with the awesome name of Craig Fairbrass, for The Dissolve.
NOT PICTURED: James Caan, Jason Patric, Shannon "American Pie" Elizabeth.
No one asked the chicken how he feels about all this.
With this review of The Great Chicken Wing Hunt, I am honored to begin contributing to The Dissolve, the best movie site on the Internet. I'm not even that much of a bar-food type or any kind of a foodie. My wheelhouse is broader than a dame, a moll, and a skirt all standing three abreast, is all. Seriously. It costs a fortune to heat this place.
In They Live, special Wayfarers reveal the subtext of the industrialized world.
It's just a capsule review, but any excuse to revisit this terrific low-budget, high-concept sci-fi flick is a good one. I prefer this over more beloved John Carpenter flicks like The Thing and Escape from New York.
That's disingenuous. Plenty of critics have called Richard Curtis on the way his new movie About Time cheats already. My take, which you can read on Monkey See now, is somewhat unique, I hope.
Backstory: I saw About Time on vacation in Leicester Square in London about two months ago, several weeks before it opened here in the States. (Fancy!) With the exchange rate being what it is, two tickets cost me the equivalent of $50 -- double the freight of a first-run movie here in Washington, DC. I would've been steamed to spend that much on a film I disliked. As I suspected I would, I enjoyed the film unabashedly, but I felt even guiltier for liking it than I'd felt for liking Curtis's other sappy movies, especially Love, Actually, which was particularly egregious. About Time's handling of its time-travel conceit was just so lazy and... unfair.

Admittedly, ALIENS is a film I've loved unconditionally since I was a kid. I need very little prompting to think about it, and only a little more prompting than that to write about it. But a deleted scene from that 27-year-old movie highlights what is, to me, the sole flaw in Alfonso Curaon's still-fantastic new space movie Gravity, and how audience expectations have changed in the generation since ALIENS. This is the subject of my first piece for Slate, which you can read here.
