A 90s coming of age movie filtered through the lens of punk rock and the myriad tenets of that scene as established in a small town. Stevo and Bob embrace being punks and the life that they see as coming with it — living in a squat, fighting, gate keepin...

A superb, slow burning crime drama with outstanding performances by Gandolfini and Hardy. There’s so much to love about this movie — Hardy’s taciturn Bob taking in Rocco after finding him in the trash by chance — the way in which that leads him to ...

A movie with about as much depth as the music played at the concert that anchors the narrative. It is about as entertaining as the concert though — fun in the moment, over the top and not all that memorable. There are a few twists (it wouldn’t be a Shy...

A bleak, sparsely scored horror movie that touches on the occult and lets Maika Monroe shine throughout. It also showcases Nicolas Cage in one of his best late-career performances this side of Mandy . More unnerving than outright terrifying and perfectly p...

A musically well-researched, taught, relentlessly entertaining and utterly horrifying thriller. The band (actually) sounds solid, has some great stickers on their van and ends up in hell chasing a guarantee (siphoning gas along the way). The cast is strong...

As fun as it is absurd. Upsetting Jason Statham never seems to go well for anyone. Except for The Rock, but he’s not in this movie, so yeah — bad news all around.

Hardly the most memorable movie, but it's a capable, well-acted thriller. It starts off mid-stride using a flashback to set things up and rolls slowly into the action. I can never quite square seeing Kit Harington outside of Game of Thrones but — that as...
