Can the beautifully complex The Birth of a Nation survive against an impossible wave of scandal? Review by Matt Cummings If the current political and social climate of our country has you wanting for something more pure and true, The Birth of a Nation comes at just the right time, for what should be Director/Writer Nate Parker's finest hour. The question is whether his untenable personal scandal will wreck this incredible film's chances for Oscar success and cinematic immortality. Life in the deep South of the early 1800's is one of blacks in bondage and cruel masters intent on seeing their property remain so. Even with these roles so clearly defined, the educated Virginia slave Nat Turner (Parker) enjoys a markedly better life. His owner Samuel Turner (Armie Hammer) sees great things in Nat, allowing him to run a small church on the plantation and even defends him against more abusive owners like Raymond Cobb (Jackie Earl Haley). But Samuel is also keenly

Chapter 2 remains largely mysterious, plot-wise, at this point, though we can expect more of the action mayhem as Wick's past catches up to him. We'll see more of the world he thought he left behind, and more of the world itself, as the cameras headed to Rome for some of the production. Ian McShane and Lance Reddick are back and the cast also includes Common, Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo and Ruby Rose. Please Leave A Comment-

The Girl on The Train is a messy but expertly-acted thriller. Review by Matt Cummings In the world of feminist hype, men and women seem strictly divided on opposite sides of the street: men are perceived as evil, while women are silent victims doomed to never right their ship. Universal's The Girl on The Train never gets that smart, wasting a ton of good performances on gratuitous skin scenes that do nothing to further the unsatisfying and messy plot. For the ex-wife drunkard Rachel (Emily Blunt), life is now a lonely trip on the Amtrak between home and work, forced daily to ride by her former home while she watches the homewrecker Anna (Rebecca Ferguson) enjoy a life with Rachel's ex-husband (Justin Theroux). Each time the train slows to accommodate a faster-moving one, Rachel is given unwanted access that can only be minimized with large quantities of vodka. But when her former neighbor - the sexually-charged Megan (Haley Bennett) - disappears after Rachel wi

Zack Snyder tweeted a video signaling the end of their shooting in the UK. In this video you get to see some behind-the-scenes action during filming. Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy.

But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions Please Leave A Comment-

MONDO ANNOUNCES " MARVEL'S LUKE CAGE " SOUNDTRACK ON YELLOW VINYL Pre-order Begins on October 7th Mondo is excited to unveil the soundtrack for Marvel's Luke Cage with collectible artwork of the bulletproof hero by Matthew Woodson. Composers Adrian Younge (Something About April) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) have combined forces to produce one of the best scores of 2016 featuring an inspired, genre-bending blend of orchestral score and 90s hip-hop beats, filtered through the sonic lens of the works of Ennio Morricone. It's no surprise that the score hovers in the same terrain of the Spaghetti Western soundtracks of Morricone - the narrative of Luke Cage plays out like a modern Western, only set in Harlem. Younge and Muhammad have meticulously crafted one of the most unique sonic landscapes in the history of television. "We sought to create a score that reflects the world of Luke Cage. We see this world as a place where classic

The Future is Bright. On Friday, October 21, Netflix will introduce the anticipated third season of Black Mirror to audiences around the world. The new season will feature six new stories from the mind of Charlie Brooker, "Nosedive," "Playtest," "Shut up and Dance," "San Junipero," "Men Against Fire," "Hated in the Nation" (in that order).
