If Forrest Gump had been a professional wrestler, he might have said “Life is like a pile driver.” For Randy “The Ram” Robinson, life is like an endless series of pile drivers and body slams …

‘The Objective’ is the newest film in the slowly evolving new genre of reality-themed quasi-docuscary thriller films. Huh? Exactly. The film, directed by Daniel Myrick (Blair Witch Project), follows CIA Special Agent Keynes (Jonas Ball) as he leads …

Travis:
I enjoyed watching this film, but I probably giving it a better rating than it truly deserves. At a convieniently short 54 minutes in length, ‘Chasing Birds’ feels a little more like reality TV than …

‘Remarkable Power’ is the kind of comedy that you expect to find on a video store shelf with the words “National Lampoon Presents” in front of the title. It’s rarely funny, it feels like …

Travis:
‘Half-Life’ is a movie that deceives the viewer o the surface, teasing us with its animated scenes and it’s near-future global warming gone wild storyline. The truth is that these two elements, while interesting, play …

Jeremy:
I remember back in the mid to late ’90s after ‘Pulp Fiction’ came out.  There were countless amounts of knockoffs, films that wanted to infuse that same sense of cool that came from the combination …

Nicolas Klotz’s new film, ‘The Heartbeat Detector’ (or ‘La Question humain’/’The Human Question’ as it is know in France), is a quasi-thriller about the dishonesty and immorality surrounding the corporate world.  In a sense, it …

Travis:
In the world of sports movies, there are good movies and there are great movies. Amidst the boxing movie pantheon are recognizable titles like ‘Raging Bull’ and ‘Cinderella Man’ but how many of us stop …
