  • Cinema File: "Hustlers" is the "Goodfellas" of stripper movies

    Lorene Scafaria's "Hustlers" does give you what you see in the trailers, but the entire movie is an epic crime saga in the vein of "Goodfellas" - without any male characters. In other words, a far cry from any stripper movie we've ever seen and quite revolutionary in its portrayal of female friendships and motherhood.

  • Cinema File: You should be disturbed by "The Nightingale"

    Jennifer Kent's follow-up to her breakout horror hit "The Babadook" is even more terrifying, but not for the same reasons. Set in colonial Australia in 1825, "The Nightingale" is a revenge movie for the way men make revenge movies. So what's in the movie, and why do horror fans deserve to be upset by it?

  • Cinema File: Dreaming of Wes Craven (1939-2015)

    In honor of the 4th anniversary of horror maestro Wes Craven's passing, I'm re-uploading this recording I did in 2015 that was attached to a retrospective / memoriam article I wrote for OnlineAthens. What you'll hear is me going through the timeline of Wes's films (or the ones I'd seen, anyway) and giving my personal thoughts for each one. It's nerd stuff, but then again, so is podcasting. (Original recording date: 9/11/15)

  • Cinema File: What is the Disney Movie Club (and is it a rip-off)?
    Ever wonder if those "reward codes" inside Disney DVDs are really worth anything? I recently decided to sign up for everything and start redeeming all of them, and it lead me to the Disney Movie Club, which is a lot like the old Columbia House subscription service. In this podcast, I give the full details of my experience and let you decide if it's worth taking the plunge.

  • Cinema File: "Ready Or Not" to have a blast
    "Ready Or Not" is more than just one of the most entertaining movies of the year. By writing a fun and interesting hero (instead of turning her into a bloodthirsty maniac), the filmmakers have achieved a serious one-up in the survival horror genre.
