George Clooney revisits familiar territory with his latest revision of the heist flick — this time framed in World War II Nazi Europe. Assembling another Ocean’s Eleven-level ensemble cast — Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett and the always awesome John Goodman — Clooney tells the true story of a most unlikely motley platoon of scientists, […]

We’ve covered Brandon Scott before, founder of Los Angeles menswear label B:SCOTT, including his inaugural Spring Collection back in 2010 and most recently his Half-Hood Anorak Mock Jacket. Now Brandon is taking his talents to the film world, acting as Costume Designer for the sci-fi short film HOME for which he’s designing a trio of goods. The […]

Any day that starts off with a trailer for a new Spike Jonze flick can’t be all bad. The film, Her, is Jonze’s first foray into sci-fi, but seeing as his movies are always pretty cerebral it seems pretty in sync with his body of work. In the movie Joaquin Phoenix stars as Theodore Twombly, […]

Oh boy does this get the blood pumping for the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past film. After having the X-Men franchise pulled from him and delivered to the talentless mitts of Brett Ratner, Bryan Singer returned in 2011 with the X-Men First Class “history” film.

The Seven Samurai aping film also stars Oscar winner Rinko Kikuchi and that […]

Wow, this is one of those films that makes you glad Hollywood exists, which is pretty rare. Let’s start with the fact that it’s written by Cormac McCarthy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose novels  No Country for Old Men and The Road were already adapted into excellent films (the former more so than the latter). But unlike […]

Caught a screener of The Source Family documentary this weekend, and gotta say it is one crazy ass story. Even as an Angeleno I had no recollection of the story of the man who named himself Father Yod, or YaHoWa, and essentially conned a bunch of really desperate teenagers into thinking he was God. So […]

We’re not gonna lie, we’re kind of fascinated by James Franco. Sometimes it seems like he’s trying too hard to be arty, but then other times I’m just glad he’s got other pursuits going on beyond hanging out at The Double Seven and banging Polish models. Either that or going all Hansel from Zoolander — […]
