Interview: Director Jason Reitman Talks ‘The Front Runner’ and Receives Award at SLIFF
“I love flying into St. Louis. It brings back this kind of flood of memories from shooting Up in the Air,” says director Jason Reitman as we sit inside The Cheshire – one of the filming locations of his aforementioned 2009 film. Reitman returned to St. Louis earlier this month for the 27th Annual Whitaker […]
Movie Review: ‘The Front Runner’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons
It’s hard to imagine a time where negative news could come out about a candidate, and completely derail their campaign. Yet that is exactly what happened in 1988, when Senator Gary Hart was the front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination until news of his affair. All it took was three weeks for his bid to completely […]

Review: LOGAN Starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen
This is what we wanted, isn’t it? A no-holds-barred, unfiltered look into the world of the X-Men, as opposed to the toned-down PG-13 version offered by the previous films in the series? A chance to see Wolverine shine in his full, unadulterated glory? Hell yes. What wouldn’t have been possible were it not for the […]
Review: ‘Logan’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen
Finally. After seventeen years and eight X-Men films (nine, if you include Deadpool), the fans of the franchise finally get the Wolverine film they deserve – an R-rated, no holds barred, action-packed bloodbath of a film. This is James Mangold’s second straight Wolverine film, and in my opinion, the best addition to the franchise to […]
Review: ‘Logan’ Bids Farewell to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
Hugh Jackman’s run as Wolverine comes to an end as Marvel’s latest, Logan, sends the titular character off with a bang. Finally, a film that fans of X-Men and action movies alike can embrace. After the worldwide success of Deadpool last year, Fox finally decided to drop the sappy PG-13 rating that has plagued the X-Men franchise since the beginning […]
126: ‘Pan’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Levi Miller, Garrett Hedlund
Pan /pan/: verb 1. (informal) To criticize (someone or something) severely. I don’t care if your movie is about a flying boy. When you name your movie Pan you’re pretty much inviting derision. When you make a crappy movie about a flying boy…well, even more so. Bad effects, bad screenplay, bad acting…it’s veritable cornucopia of […]
85: ‘CHAPPiE’ Starring Sharlto Copley, Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver
This week Neill Blomkamp returns with RoboCopy… Ummm… I mean Chappie. A movie that our legal department requires us to inform you resembles RoboCop in no way whatsoever (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). So please ignore all of the cops who are robots, and the Peter Weller sound-alike voice work, and that giant evil robot which […]
Movie Review: ‘Chappie’ Starring Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, Hugh Jackman
Chappie is the latest film by science fiction director, Neill Blomkamp. Blomkamp has been responsible for some the most modern, contemporary sci-fi films to date. Elysium and District 9 were his last two films, and many critics and movie-goers were not satisfied with his most recent direction. The film community had begun to wonder if […]
