Director Boaz Yakin’s 1994 feature Fresh still resonates today, and throughout the years Yakin has carved his own path with helming higher profile pictures (Remember the Titans, Max, the Jason Statham headlined Safe) and indie driven projects (Death in Love, Boarding School). Yakin’s lifelong passion for subverting genres as well as pushing himself as an artist has led to Aviva, a new feature that marks his finest moment in cinema. During our extensive conversation, Yakin talked about the creative process behind making his ambitious film.

Da 5 Bloods is a movie about so many things but first and foremost it’s must see cinema. If you’re a lifelong fan of director Spike Lee’s work this is preaching to the choir, but if you’re in the mood for an uncompromising, ennervating and at times brutal yard, take a good look and see “what’s going on.”

Becky, directed by Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion, is going to garner either lots of praise or derision, based on the viewer’s expectations. If you go into Becky thinking you are getting a heady, slow-burn, A24-style art-house horror flick, you will most-likely be disappointed. Becky is lean, mean, gory fun.

Review: Hidden Gem ‘Miracle Mile’ Deserves Cult Status

0
Miracle Mile,, directed by Steve De Jarnatt, deserves the same sort of cult status as movies like Heathers, Red Dawn, and They Live. Miracle Mile tells the story of 30 year-old nerd, Harry (Anthony Edwards) who finally meets the love of his life, Julie (Mare Winningham), during a chance encounter at the La Brea Tar Pits museum. Julie and Harry have a whirlwind, day-long date, but alas, Julie has to go to work at a nearby diner. They agree to meet at the diner when she gets done with her shift, at midnight. Unfortunately, Harry’s alarm doesn’t work, so he doesn’t arrive until 4am.

Well it’s week 52 which means we’ve been doing this every week for a year now. Was going to do a retrospect, but talking about myself and my future doesn’t feel right this week. Will take some inventory next week… if there is a next week. I kid.
