Because of going to Sundance and being busy, I haven’t posted much about the Oscars. In fact, I didn’t even do a nomination reactions piece or anything. It was just an area that got lost in shuffle of everything else. I was pretty good on my final predictions. I missed a couple nominees here and there, but overall, I thought I did good. No real surprises in the nominations and not a lot of huge…

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies just sounds ridiculous. Based off the extremely popular novel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies takes the classic Jane Austen novel about tangled relationships in 19th century England and throws a zombie apocalypse in the middle of it all. It is a unique twist on classical cinema and on the zombie genre, that narrow minded viewers will find stupid. The only way to watch Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is to…

Having hit a new career high with 2013’s masterful musical dramedy Inside Llewyn Davis, The Coen Brother’s come back to the comedy genre with Hail, Caesar!, a very weird, and very dry comedy that only The Coen’s could make. Hail, Caesar! takes a look at the day in the life of Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), a Hollywood fixer for Capital Pictures in the 1950’s, who cleans up any and all issues with big names and…

Kevin Smith has done it again. Yoga Hosers is the second film in his True North Trilogy, following 2014’s unsettling yet brilliant Tusk, and it is a wildly inventive, insane, hilarious Canadian horror comedy that only Smith could come up with. Yoga Hosers tells the story of Colleen Collette and Colleen McKenzie (Lily-Rose Melody Depp and Harley Quinn Smith), two social-media obsessed Sophomores who work at a convenient store. One night, the Colleen’s get invited to…
