‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ Movie is a True Work of Action Art

Maxance Vincent ,  8 min read

In the first scene of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, it doesn’t take long for directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah to pull out camera tricks that will ultimately serve the film’s aesthetic during its action-heavy last hour. Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) stops to get a ginger ale at a corner shop and stumbles upon hot dogs (yes, “are those

‘Furiosa’ is Ambitious, Admirable, but it’s No ‘Fury Road’

John Dotson ,  ,  5 min read

While watching Furiosa; A Mad Max Saga, just remember this is from the same director who made Happy Feet. It’s a fascinating memory to reflect upon that the filmmaker who brought us singing and dancing penguins is also responsible for the nightmarish, brutal landscape surrounding Mad Max. And well, there’s nothing “Happy” about George Miller’s return to the Wasteland of absolute anarchy.  The

Guy Ritchie’s Latest Gem: ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’

Wiktor Reinfuss ,  ,  6 min read

Guy Ritchie is one of my favorite directors, who makes movies with a real passion, and a unique Brit-humor. He made Sherlock Holmes, The Gentlemen, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and many more movies that people are still talking about. So when the trailer for The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare came out, I knew wanted to watch it as soon as I

Review: Alex Garland’s ‘Civil War’ is an Empty Political Dystopia

Maxance Vincent ,  ,  ,  13 min read

When Alex Garland’s Civil War premiered at SXSW, the early reactions were quick to call it a “masterpiece” and an “important warning” or “cautionary tale” about the future of American politics and the state of journalism, as democracy is (quite literally) on the ballot in November. Some even (dared) compare its importance to the likes of Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle of

Dev Patel’s Full of Rage and Revenge in ‘Monkey Man’

Brian Kitson ,  6 min read

After a while, all action films begin to feel the same: car chases, hand-to-hand combat, and lots of blood. For many films in this genre, it’s style over substance, with cool action sequences that take precedence over well-written storylines and impeccable acting. This has been one of my biggest complaints about action films for years. I appreciate movies that can balance

‘Monkey Man’ Review: Dev Patel’s Formally Audacious Directorial Debut

Maxance Vincent ,  9 min read

Dev Patel’s Monkey Man almost never saw the light of day after suffering a number of production troubles. This included Patel breaking his hand on the first day of shooting and Netflix quietly dropping the film from distribution, citing it too gritty and politically charged for Indian audiences. The fact that it got released (in theaters, no less) this week feels

‘Bond In Motion’: Iconic Cinematic Cars From James Bond Films

Anthony Flagg ,  9 min read

Although it’s lost to the world, I’m pretty sure I was close to wearing out my VHS of The World Is Not Enough. My first-ever date was seeing Casino Royale in theaters. I also had an affinity for Mrs. Doubtfire, featuring Pierce Brosnan, who I still consider my James Bond. So when I noticed that they were bringing the Bond In
