Understandable.

That was an incredible series to watch, and as a general hockey fan, I'm really happy about teams finally getting over their humps and some new blood (Anaheim Game 7 still up in the air). As a Hawks fan, I would rather them have been swept by Dallas than lose to St. Louis of all teams, but what can ya do. Hockey is

I'd also say Theron was the best, but at the same time I have to say that Chastain was the best because she's Jessica Chastain and I am very biased. Either way, massive cast upgrade in this one. Too bad Chris Hemsworth gets the most screen time out of any of them.

That is true. I do very much enjoy what the Cubs are doing right now.

Michal Rozsival and Trevor van Riemsdyk, what a pairing hahahahahahahahahahahaha. :(

GREEN ROOM
This was probably the most intense theater experience I have ever had. Green Room is bloody, gruesome, and legitimately shocking, and I do not use those words merely as casual adjectives that help move my review along. They fit 100% and then some, inspiring visceral reactions in the audience that very few

Solid A from me. What a film.

Just came back from seeing this, and holy fucking shit please see this movie (and in the theater). Most of the time when I use words like "brutal" or "shocking" it's because I just need some words to describe shit, but here, it applies 100% and then some. Saulnier perfectly crafts the tension and the violence, and the

Second one is partly right.

Demolition is good enough for most of its runtime, its somewhat flimsy narrative bolstered by yet another great Jake Gyllenhaal performance. As an investment banker whose wife dies in a car crash, Gyllenhaal convincingly navigates the character’s post-accident life, his face a blank slate at one point and a cathartic

Really fantastic show. First episode was one of the weaker ones. I'd say it's worth watching for the performances—Buscemi and Alda in particular—and its emotional impact (some of those episodes hit hard).

It is.

Krisha: High intensity 80 minutes that plays out like a horror film at times. Fantastic movie overall, and really well done for such a small budget. Lots of interesting stylistic touches, and for the most part, they avoid feeling like only style over substance because there's a heart-wrenching human story of addiction

The image at the top of this review is a perfect encapsulation of the word "badass".

I'm so glad that like Spartacus—my other "FUCK YEAH" show—Banshee is going out on top and ending at a fairly reasonable time. I have no doubt that this final season is going to be amazing, and Clay Burton will lay waste to the entire fucking world because that is the only possible outcome here.

Everybody Wants Some!! is a free-flowing, testosterone-fueled display of college life. Booze is consumed, girls are admired, and country/punk/disco music is blasted as the last few days of summer wind down, and the guys on the baseball team are enjoying every second they have left before they have to sleep their way

KRISHA
Krisha could very easily be a cliche-ridden, self indulgent home video fest that prioritizes style over substance. Fortunately, it avoids that description at almost every turn, telling its story with a ferocious intensity and a real understanding of an addict’s world (which is understandable considering the

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
One of the treats of Midnight Special is its use of visual storytelling. The film takes its time in setting up its world and characters, letting images linger as mysteries swirl around in the twilight air. It’s about the journey more than the answers, and each development raises additional questions
