Stop-motion artwork is tricky. We accept it for some settings, like the children’s entertainment in?Shaun of the Sheep?or in some cases, the work of Matt Stone and Trey Parker. But in the case of Charlie Kaufman’s adaptation of his own stage work,?Anomalisa, the method proves effective for conveying the mundane, miserable life of Michael Stone,…
The latest hit from HBO isn’t an ensemble power play. Yes, it’s an ensemble show, but the power of this show is Bobby Cannavale’s American Century record executive Richie Finestra. Finestra is a force of nature who cares about his company – and music – in a way that he is begging his team of…
It’s been awhile since Gerard Butler nailed his name to the blockbuster wall with?300. But in between making?Fallen?films about terrorists in the U.S. and London, he starred in the ensemble piece,?Gods of Egypt,?about the brotherly rivalry of the Egyptian gods Set (Butler) and Osiris (Bryan Brown), and the young passion of the human thief, Bek…

If the first season of?True Detective?had found itself in Los Angeles, it might have become?Triple 9. In a nearly two-hour heist flick, Australian director John Hillcoat (Lawless,?The Proposition) moves around A-list actors like chess pieces. Yes, we’ve seen a group of police officers cross over to the dark side of criminality before, but we’ve never…
Fifteen years ago, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson delivered?Zoolander, a film that ridiculously satires our thoughts on beauty, modeling, and humanitarian inclinations. It was dumb – but it seemed to be dumb on purpose. In fact, it was critically and commercially a success! But fifteen years later,?Zoolander No. 2?comes across much like the signs that…
Based on the most downloaded freemium app of all time,?The Angry Birds Movie?has grossed over $157 million dollars in its first week. With a worldwide following for the game, it was a no-brainer that the film would follow. Seriously, we’ve seen news of PONG and Centipede movies in the works, so could a hammed-up version…
Off of the coast of Cape Cod in 1952, two oil tankers were split in half by a giant storm, but only one of them had a chance to send out an S.O.S. As the main Coast Guard unit worked to rescue those on the first ship, SS Fort Mercer, a handful of men left…
How to Be Single?is?Bridesmaids?before the proposal. Starring Rebel Wilson, Dakota Johnson, Leslie Mann, and Alison Brie, the story revolves around these women as they navigate the dating scene. While none of them have found the man of their dreams at the beginning of the film, they all are pursuing a desire to fill the hole…
A year ago, as ScreenFish was born, we rallied to cover?Avengers: Age of Ultron. I had glowing things to say about this popcorn genre film that reached for the stars and shared a vision of our humanity. A year later, Marvel/Disney dropped close to our anniversary, and?my partners in crime were awestruck. I, on the…
