Fun fact: in the first episode, one character spends a while releasing his pent up anger over the fact that Michael Shannon didn’t get an Oscar nomination for Take Shelter this...

Red Band Trailer: God Bless America - April 6
Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. Starring Joel Murray, Tara Lynne Barr, and Mackenzie Brooke Smith.
Fair warning, this preview (and presumably the movie) presents a string of extremely inconsequential acts of uber-violence. But for those with the stomach to handle Goldthwait’s demented view of the world, treasures of...

After reading Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy (which, unfortunately, I ended up being quite indifferent to), I now start the trecherous 5-10 minute process of working out which book amongst the bags on my floor and piles on my shelves and desk I will read next.

I’ve just finished watching Jean-Xavier De Lestrade’s 8-part documentary series The Staircase, on the murder trial of Michael Peterson and thought it was a fantastically gripping story. If you’re a fan of docos, I highly recommend it. I was going to comment about it in the IMDb message boards until I realised everyone on it is insane. Here are some spolier-laden thoughts: This is...
