War Machine vs. War Horse: The Hateful Eight (The Thing vs. Reservoir Dogs)

On episode 208 for THE HATEFUL EIGHT, I lock myself in a room of paranoia with Web from the podcast It’s Terrific and Berook from the Cinemabun podcast for a mix of more Kurt Russell and Quentin Tarantino in THE THING and RESERVOIR DOGS. We attempt to suss out the ultimate betrayer between these two films but first we take a ride to Minnie’s Haberdashery in Tarantino’s latest film.

Richard Armitage interview on SLEEPWALKER

SLEEPWALKER is the latest film from director Elliott Lester. Troubled by bouts of sleepwalking and disturbing nightmares, graduate student Sarah Foster goes to her university's sleep research center for help. When she wakes up after her first night of being monitored, the world she lives in seems to have changed in subtle, Twilight-Zone-esque ways. In fact, every time she goes to sleep now, she wakes up in a slightly different version of her world. With the help of sleep researcher Dr. Scott White, she tries to work her way back to the reality she started in. But when they finally succeed, it’s revealed that Sarah’s world is not what she thought at all.

From the outside, online film critics share quite a bit with their Twitter troll counterparts.

The critical response to John Travolta's passion project Gotti has been less than favorable, in fact, it has been downright abysmal. A project over ten years in the making, Travolta has poured his heart and soul into this venture. And many writers seem to take pleasure in the film's failure.
