SCAD Savannah Film Festival Review: ‘Fatherland’ is a Showcase for Efficient Storytelling and Also Sandra Hüller’s Talents
There’s an efficiency and economy of storytelling that Paweł Pawlikowski possesses which few of his contemporaries do. For example, this is his sixth feature and he’s yet to make a film that’s 90 minutes long. His longest movie to date is 88 minutes, which says something about how he can capture his story, as well […] More

Interview: ‘Wicker’ Stars Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård on Just How Much Fun That Shoot Was
One of the biggest surprises of Wicker is just how much fun it is. That fun isn’t just something viewers experience, as I learned when talking to the movie’s stars, Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård. They had a blast making this film, as did pretty much everyone involved. You can see it too in the […] More

Film Review: ‘Clayface’ Has Gore Galore and a Hard R Take on the Underrated Batman Villain
I’ve wanted to see the character of Clayface on the big screen ever since I first saw the Batman villain show up in 1992 on Batman: The Animated Series. The idea of a Clayface film always seemed very hard to pull off and do right, yet hope remained. Then, when Mike Flanagan was pitching his […] More

Film Review: ‘Wildwood’ is a Gorgeous Handcrafted Epic
It is absolutely mind-boggling to me that Laika is able to do what they do. Stop-motion animation is so difficult, so expensive, and so time consuming, anyone who is able to complete a project deserves my deepest respect. At the same time, as impressive as Laika’s visuals always are, I don’t always fully connect with […] More

Film Review: ‘Wicker’ is a Wonderful Surprise That’s Equal Parts Hilarious, Horny, Romantic, and Savage
I love when a film surprises me. Sometimes, it’s a matter of quality. Other times, it’s a movie that completely wasn’t on my radar. With Wicker, it’s a little of column A and a little of column B. I’d completely forgotten that the flick played a the Sundance Film Festival, especially as it mostly was […] More
