Review: "The Summit"
If you want a nice story to tell at a cocktail party, you could climb Mount Everest. If you want to prove your prowess as a climber and wrestle with your own mortality, then it has to be K2.

Review: "Machete Kills"
Don’t take your kids to see “Machete Kills.” Seriously. The sheer amount of blood, gore and violence is enough to send any parents group into a frenzy.

Cinematic Year in Review: Food Edition
What happens when filmmakers moonlight as sous chefs? Results vary from the delectable (mmm… cake) to the vomit–inducing (we’ll leave you to guess this one).
B Roll: Roger Ebert Was A Fucking Idiot
Beneath a canopy of crucifixes, I train my gun on a cowering creep with a major hard–on for Jesus.
Review: "Gravity"
The opening credits of “Gravity” cautiously signal its central premise, that life is impossible in space.
