I love deep and heartfelt movies, with tender, soul searching plots and endearing characters as much as the next film fan, but every now and again, I just like to watch a man swing a really big axe at another man’s face. And for times like that, you have movies like Hammer of the Gods. Now don’t get me wrong, this …
We haven’t seen much of Eli Roth lately. The man who brought extreme gore and torture to the big screen several years ago has kept low as of late, popping up like a groundhog looking for its shadow or Bill Murray. But he’s back!

When the end of the world comes, I’m probably inviting none of y’all into my tin foil super-bunker! Still, I’m not the only survivalist out there, and we’ll most likely meet in Thunderdome when we battle to the death over some AA batteries and an MP3 player loaded with ZZ Top songs.

Luckily, Kick-Ass, the no holds barred tale of wanna be superheroes, …
Anna Kendrick is awesome. There’s simply no other way to state this unassailable fact. Ever since first gaining widespread attention in Up In The Air, she’s been charming the pants off all four vaunted quadrants with either sterling efforts in movies such as End of Watch and Pitch Perfect or by possibly being the greatest celebrity to ever use Twitter. So …
There’s something about watching any footage for the upcoming bikini heavy Spring Breakers that makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Uncomfortable in the way that if anyone walks in on me watching that, I’m immediattely going to ALT-TAB my way to a Google homepage screen. Because Google is totally interesting, uh huh. Why, I could stare at this simple white …
Relumi is best understood as an AI Photo Retake app — a mobile tool …
