Just in time for Season 2 to start, the gregarious and lovely Jenny Kelly and myself will be starting a Game of Thrones podcast.  Reel Time has generously allowed us the platform to discuss our current favorite show airing, and I will be posting updates and new podcasts here as well as they air.  I hope you all will join me as Jenny and I dive into the magical, brutal, and sexy world of Game of

Watching Naked for the first time is quite like getting a tattoo someplace awkward. It can be aggravating, abrasive, noisy, and downright unpleasant during the duration. However, once you are finished, and you sit back and admire the work done, it can be an entirely satisfying and meaningful experience. As we follow the bitter and egotistical Johnny across London, we are witness to a man who is

Mamoru Hosoda's follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars is a sci-fi tale set against the world of social networking and the effects it has on society. Quickly in the film we are introduced to the virtual world of OZ, a larger and more advanced version of online societies like Facebook and Second Life that incorporates shopping, finances, and even

I went into this film blissfully unaware of it's subject matter, plot, or any of the gory details. For this, I am very grateful, because the pure visceral shock I received upon first starting the film made the subsequent journey all the more enjoyable. I have never been, and most likely never will be, a fan of the slasher flick. But, despite Man Bites Dog containing a large amount of gore and

In Chronicle we are seeing the realized potential of the "found footage" style of film making.  In that the film itself uses the more intimate nature and setting of having our characters themselves film the events, but at the same time not feeling restricted to make the movie as "plausible" as possible.  We get to know our main characters very well in a short period of time by seeing them as

Attack the Block is one of those rare, fresh-air kind of films you run into every so often. It took a novel concept, and a modest budget, and squeezed the absolute maximum out of it possible.  Attack the Block is set in south London, in an area known as the "ends" by our unlikely heroes, a gang of teenage thugs and muggers. We see our protagonists at work being unsavory right off the bat,

Love Exposure is the most Japanese movie ever made.What that exactly means is a bit more complex and strange, just like the film itself. Love Exposure, at its base, is a romance. But, it's a romance distilled through the diverse and seemingly incompatable influences of Catholicism, upskirt photography, cross-dressing, cults/brainwashing, coreographed fighting, and graphic violence. Spread out
