Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer is finally here! After premiering at last year's Cannes festival, this U.S. debut film from the South Korean filmmaker (The Host, Mother) got acquired by the Weinstein Company and still, it took so long for it to make it in theaters. At last we get to see the first trailer of Snowpiercer, an adaptation of a French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob about a future where a failed global-warming...

It's been more than a year since revered film critic Roger Ebert passed away after his long battle with cancer. I had read (actually heard through audio tape) Ebert's memoir Life Itself prior to his death and after getting a glimpse into the man who has single handedly influenced the film community so deeply, I felt an immense sorrow by the loss of a great man. After hearing so much buzz, the first trailer of the documentary...
Gia Coppola's Palo Alto is going to be ranked as one of the best representation of High School life along Amy Heckerling's Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) and Sofia Coppola's (her aunt!) The Virgin Suicides (1999)! Adapted from James Franco's book of short stories of the same name, it is the ultimate portrait of these angsty and privileged Californian kids. Palo Alto is honestly a hit or miss with everyone considering...
DUDE HE IS SO NOT COMING BACK! Christopher Nolan's next project, Interstellar, has an all-star cast featuring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, and Michael Caine! When a wormhole is newly discovered, a team of explorers and scientist go on a mission through it to transcend previous limitations on human space travel (WOW!) After watching the teaser of McConaughey driving...
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is one of my most anticipated films for this year! Many people may have not liked the first film with James Franco being all "I'm a nurturing father/scientist" but besides that I truly loved the naturalistic non-verbal storytelling that took place half of the film due Andy Serkis' excellent performance. That man definitely deserves an Oscar! So here is my trailer reaction to the second film...
HOLY SHIT! I'm slightly late on this spanking new film by David Cronenberg called Maps to the Stars starring Julianne Moore, Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Carrie Fisher and Sarah Gadan. Maps to the Stars follows the twisted lives of Weiss family, a Hollywood dynasty-- a successful self-help guru Dr. Stafford Weiss and his wife Cristiana, who manages the careers of their burnt out child star kids Agatha and...
If you haven't seen my review of Nymphomaniac: Volume I, just scroll down and ta-da! Nymphomaniac: Volume II felt far superior to its predecessor considering there were an actual thoughtful yet tragic exploration of female sexuality that went into uncharted territories and less of the preposterous theories from the first film. There were terrific performances all around from Charlotte Gainsbourg to Mia Goth to Jamie Bell....
Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac: Volume I is probably my least favorite film of his. Lars von Trier has been one of the few males filmmakers who has focused on the suffering of woman through intensely realistic and brutal portrayal of self-hatred, depression, and sex. Nymphomaniac: Volume I & II. is no different but this time running more than two hours for each film. Volume I starts at the beginning of Joe's (Charlotte...
