Year: 2014 Director: James Franco Cast: Scott Haze, Tim Blake Nelson, James Franco Country of Origin: U.S. Rating: R Time: 104 mins To Hollywood, James Franco is known to be one of the hardest working man in the industry and to the rest of gen-y kids, he is an actor and the king of selfies.

It's here! The insanely riveting and action packed trailer of George Miller's fourth Mad Max film, Mad Max: Fury Road has arrived! Miller has said way back when that "He's a rebooted Mad Max, but it's a new interpretation." about Tom Hardy playing the new anti-hero. I had seen a snapshot of Charlize Theron will her hair shaved previously and I went absolutely bonkers! Everything about this trailer just screams badass! Visually,...

I am literally salivating at these The Walking Dead Season 5 posters. I had written in my previous post about the 7 things about 'The Walking Dead' Season 5 trailer and the insanity that is about to ensue come the season premiere on October 12. Contrary to most of the previous season's promo posters, I'm digging these posters that highlight the individual characters from Glenn to Maggie to Daryl to Beth! They're at a point...

#SDCC is finally over and although I did not get to go, there were a ton of new sneak peeks of upcoming tv shows, films, and geeky stuff that I need to catch up on! I rarely talk about the tv shows I am watching but of course, I am one of the millions utterly obsessed with AMC's The Walking Dead.  So Naturally, when the Season 5 trailer came out, I went skittishly bonkers but it also left me pining for more and with...

I'm probably one of the very few people on this planet who has not read E.L. James' best-selling novel, Fifty Shades of Grey. An almost college graduate name Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) strikes up an S&M romance with a successful and young entrepreneur, Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). I know initially everyone wanted Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel to play these characters which I do agree would've been a match made...

I started writing a bi-weekly column for Crome Yellow called Badass Femmes about all the incredible women in pop culture that has shaped my life. To start off this series, my first inspiration goes out to Enid of Ghost World (2001)! I would've been another K-Town party girl thug without you! Read HERE!...

Richard Linklater's Boyhood has got to be one of the most buzzed about and highly regarded film of this year. After its premiere at Sundance, all social media outlets exploded with excitement and incredulous praise about the grandiose film that was 12 years in the making! I've always loved Linklater's films that continued to tamper with time especially in films like Slacker (1991), Waking Life (2001), and The Before Series...

"YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE MONEY TO BUY A TICKET!" Just a day ago, I posted about the Nightcrawler teaser which is the directorial debut of writer Dan Gilroy's new film starring Jake Gyllenhaal. The teaser was incredibly enticing but now that I've seen the official trailer, my anticipation for the film is off the charts! Could this be Gyllenhaal's Oscar winning role? He stars in the film as Lou Bloom, "a driven young man...

It's here! The first trailer for Justin Simien's Dear White People! I've been patiently waiting for the full trailer to come out because the teaser just wasn't enough! This was one of the films at LA Film Fest that I wasn't able to see because there was a line around the corner and even those people couldn't get in! The film is based on Simien's own experiences at a predominately white university, which centers on...

What in the world is this?! Clearly, this is viral stunt to promote the directorial debut of writer Dan Gilroy's new film, Nightcrawler, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Apparently this video was quietly uploaded to YouTube with the statement "my video resume" by Lou Bloom, the character Gyllenhaal is playing. This is a great first teaser for the film as he talks for about a minute about how he is THE perfect candidate for the...

I recently went to Agnes Varda's exhibit called Californialand at LACMA. She was once called the "grandmother of the French New Wave" as she's been making narrative and documentary films for six decades! The installation is inspired by her time in Los Angeles in the late 1960s as well as a selection of her photographs. As a film critic and filmmaker, it's always inspiring to see the prolific work done by great auteurs....

Matt Reeves' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is one of the finest blockbuster to come out this year. It pits the humans and apes against each other to show that even species apart, we all want and need the same thing. At times, it felt long but it really takes it's time to engross you into their post-apocalyptic world.  I was very hesitant about  Matt Reeves doing the American remake of the Swedish film, Let the...
