Movie Breakdown: Bliss (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: There is something, how you might say, off about the trailer for this new Owen Wilson, Salma Hayek vehicle. It looks like an episode of Black Mirror but with a clear bend towards...

Movie Breakdown: Earwig And The Witch

Pre-Screening Stance: Studio Ghibli has decided to dip their toe into the world of CG animation, and I am here for it. Granted, we all sort of have to be because it’s Studio Ghibli and...

Movie Breakdown: Malcolm & Marie

Movie Breakdown: The White Tiger (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: The White Tiger is directed by Ramin Bahrani, the one-time indie darling of flicks like Chop Shop and Man Push Cart, who’s moving up the celebrity food chain as of late. It’s also...

Movie Breakdown: The White Tiger

Pre-Screening Stance: I like the look of The White Tiger, but I have to admit I’m a little put off by the fact that the last Ramin Bahrani-directed film was the pretty dang terrible Fahrenheit...
