Dark Summer is currently available on VOD and playing theatrically in LA click here for showtimes    On this episode of our podcast we stalk with technology, and though our methods of finding our way into your ear buds may be more advanced than Robert De Niro’s quest to get famous on a late night talk show in THE KING OF COMEDY, or Robin Williams’ photo lab obsession with an All-American family in ONE HOUR PHOTO, we hope our listeners agree that we haven’t quite reached our full stalker potential.    But before we give you too much time to consider it, we speak with director Paul Solet, who you may know previously from his acclaimed horror film GRACE, as he took the time to talk about his work and inspire our theme with his new film DARK SUMMER.

Deep in the uncharted American wilderness, trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is severely injured and left for dead by a traitorous member of his team, John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). With sheer will as his only weapon, Glass must navigate a hostile environment, a brutal winter, and warring Native American tribes in relentless quest to survive and exact vengeance on Fitzgerald. Based on a true story, THE REVENANT is directed and co-written by renowned filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu ("Birdman," "Babel").

Bill Maher joined the war over American Sniper, saying the movie portrayed Chris Kyle as a “psychopath patriot and we love him.” American Sniper, he said, painted an unsubtle black-and-white/good versus evil/“we’re good, they’re bad” picture.

  Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Olivia Luccardi, Lili Sepe and Daniel Zovatto  David Robert Mitchell has done something truly remarkable with his follow up to the spectacular teen drama MYTH OF THE AMERICAN SLEEPOVER, he made a completely original, tense as hell thriller/horror film built on performance and atmosphere with an incredibly effective score from Disasterpeace. I'd say they don't make them like this anymore but I'm not sure they ever have made them like this. IT FOLLOWS on some level reminds me of John Crapenter's HALLOWEEN but that's mainly due to the anamorphic widescreen and the brilliant score. This is a film that's certainly aware of the horror films that have come before it but it in no way is pigeon held to them. IT FOLLOWS is f*%$ing relentless. This is in no way a "once it gets going" type film, it comes out of the gate swinging, you barely are given a chance to catch your breath. The scariest moments in this film are in th

On my drive home last night I started thinking about film scores, specifically about the copy of Sorcerer that stayed in my Ford LTD for the better part of my high school career. I didn't have many friends I would play it for because my unhealthy obsession with film was isolating enough. I didn't need my love of dour, experimental synth  music to isolate me further. Then I thought about the soundtracks to Miracle Mile and 12 O'Clock High. These scores were so much more than just movie music, they were playing in my car and in my room all the time. When I would stay up till 4am madly scribbling my terrible poetry into composition notebooks I was always listening to a soundtrack. John Carpenter, Phillip Glass and Tangerine Dream were my Rolling Stones. I hated hearing of Edgars death today because I've had a deeply personal relationship with this stranger for the better part of 20 years. I might not write any poetry today but I will certainly be listening to his music

In BIRDMAN, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s black comedy, Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) hopes that by spearheading an ambitious new Broadway play he will, among other things, revive his moribund career. In many ways, it is a deeply foolhardy move – but the former cinema superhero has high hopes that this creative gambit will legitimize him as an artist and prove to everyone – and himself – that he is not just a Hollywood has-been. With the play’s opening night looming, Riggan’s lead actor is injured by a freak accident during rehearsals and needs to be replaced quickly. At the suggestion of lead actress Lesley (Naomi Watts) and the urging of his best friend and producer Jake (Zach Galifianakis), Riggan reluctantly hires Mike Shiner (Edward Norton) – a loose cannon who is guaranteed to sell tickets and get the play a rave review. As he preps for the stage debut, he must deal with his girlfriend and co-star Laura (Andrea Riseborough), his fresh-from-rehab daughter and personal assistant S

From WGA West For Wash Westmoreland & Richard Glatzer life imitates art as the married writing team battles A.L.S. while scripting the emotional drama about Alzheimer’s  Still Alice . Written by Todd Aaron Jensen (January 23, 2015) Vincent van Gogh might not have been known as a film critic, but he did once famously say, “A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.” Such is the case with  Still Alice , a good picture, to be sure, a profoundly moving drama about a linguistics professor rapidly unraveling, physically and emotionally, after developing early onset Alzheimer’s. For her work in the lead role, Julianne Moore recently won a Best Actress Golden Globe. The film, which displays its heroine’s struggles unvarnished and the relationship with her caregiver [Kristen Stewart] in blunt, but inspiring terms, enjoyed a euphoric reception at last fall’s Toronto International Film Festival. Many audience members have received the film as van Gogh might have foreseen, as a
