In a world where Horror films rely on blood and Boo!s to scare, Jennifer Kent’s “The Babadook” stands apart. “The Babadook” represents the best that horror has to offer. I was terrified to go on watching, yet could not look away. And that’s really something special. Additionally, the creature and mythology behind the Babadook was stellar; hauntingly unnatural while at the same time, remarkably plausible,

Each year I patiently wait or TCFF to send me the publication listing the films to be exhibited for the coming festival. Some are films I have heard of, others are by directors, actors and or writers who’s body of work with which I’m familiar, but periodically a title, name or image captures my attention; such was the case with Onur Tukel‘s “Summer of Blood.” A film with a quirky collection of Vampires and a 30 something guy just trying to skate through life.

I’m a great fan of the work of Christopher Nolan, and I was looking forward to the release of Interstellar.
I am excited introduce Mason Speta as a Special Guest editor and to be able to share her insight and review.
Read Interstellar Review.

You might not know the name Mike Nichols, but you certainly know his work. The director of “The Graduate,” one of my all-time favorite films, a former Second City member, and the director of seemingly every great broadway play throughout the 60s, 70s, and 80s, Nichols was a legend. He’s the guy people like Iñárritu (Babel, Birdman) turn to for help, and is idolized of people like Adam McKay (Anchorman, Stepbrothers) and David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle). With his passing, we loose one of the greatest directors of all time. RIP.

I finally saw “Blue Is the Warmest Color.” I was unable to see it upon its release due to its NC-17 rating. Finally, nearly a year-and-a-half after it took home the Palme d’Or at Cannes, I sat myself down for to watch the 3 hour long romantic epic in French.

With the virtually universal success that occurs every time a Marvel comic is made into a blockbuster film, no one should surprised when Hollywood reaches-out to some of their lesser known works. Odds are pretty good, if you don’t spend your Saturday nights hanging-out at a comic book store, you never heard of the “Guardians of the Galaxy “- well that’s about to change.
