This Valentine’s Day, Why is This a Thing? cordially invites you to get NAILED! Once upon a time, in pre-Obamacare USA, there was a David O. Russell film called Nailed.

48:15

The Spooktacular rolls on with the mid-aughts horror indie The Hamiltons, about a family of [SPOILER]s with domestic issues that go well beyond their predilection for murder.

Redux August concludes with a side-by-side comparison of the Spanish-language sci-fi film Abre los ojos and Cameron Crowe’s faithfully idiosyncratic remake Vanilla Sky. Does the original help justify the remake’s clunky plot? Is the remake grade-A Tom Cruise or a thinly disguised vanity project? Will Nico be forced to eat crow or will he defend the…

Redux August (in mid-September) continues with one of the greatest movies of all time and one of the most mediocre remakes of the 2010s.

The guys check in on the state of Nic Cage (and the price of Nico’s cratering Joel Kinnaman stock) with the indie cat-and-mouse thriller Sympathy for the Devil. No, it’s not based on the Stones song.
