Contemporary Review / Review

Biutiful

Posted on September 30, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

By Jackson Diianni Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Biutiful (2010) is one of the most affecting films of the 21st Century, which makes me wonder how it could possibly have slipped so silently under the radar. To me, this film is a masterpiece, but I seem to be the only one who thinks so. It got mediocre … Continue reading →

Sorry to Bother You

Posted on August 20, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

By Alex Bird Sorry To Bother You might be the best movie of the year so far. By combining radical politics, absurd humor, and Charlie Kaufman style pop surrealism (think Being John Malkovich), rapper Boots Riley has made one of the most thoughtful and unlikely hits of the summer. Made on a shoestring budget and … Continue reading →

Mamma Mia! Here We go Again

Posted on August 9, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Joshua Jensen When the first Mamma Mia! movie musical hit theaters almost 10 years ago on the dot, critics didn’t quite get the tone that director Phyllida Lloyd and the rest of the cast were going for. The over-the-top and unapologetically-dramatic moments were corny, yet (and here’s the key) fun to watch. In a movie … Continue reading →

The Incredibles 2

Posted on June 22, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

By Haley Goetz I very distinctly remember when The Incredibles first came out. I was six years old, a little Pokémon-obsessed girl from the rural confines of New Hampshire. When I saw this film for the first time on a big screen, at this old-school movie house that has since closed down, I became obsessed … Continue reading →

By Stephen Shea Ocean’s 8 tells the story of Danny Ocean’s sister Debbie Ocean as she plots a heist on the Met Gala fresh out of prison.

Avengers: Infinity War

Posted on May 8, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Tony Di Nizo (*SPOILERS AHEAD*) Avengers Infinity War has finally arrived, bringing audiences the first half of a two-part story that has been a decade in the making. There is an insane amount of hype surrounding the film and the question is, can directors Anthony and Joe Russo meet or even exceed those expectations? … Continue reading →

Super Troopers 2

Posted on April 27, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Tyler Jennes It’s almost hard to believe that it’s been more than 16 years since the twisted minds of the comedy troupe, Broken Lizard, made the first Super Troopers. This is a film that has gone down as one of the definite cult-classics of the 2000s era; one that has achieved a large audience … Continue reading →

Marvel’s The Avengers

Posted on April 26, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Jonathan Cornell I’ve seen every Marvel Cinematic Universe film opening weekend for almost ten years now and, while I do remember each of those eighteen trips to the movie theater pretty well, none of them stick in my mind as clearly as 2012’s Marvel’s The Avengers. Iron Man had already proven that this new … Continue reading →

Train to Busan

Posted on April 22, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Alistair Bennie Underwood Train to Busan is a 2016 South Korean Zombie film. This movie reminded me why I loved zombie fiction and  zombies in general. This movie deserves to be on the list of any fan of either, or even if you are bored and want a new movie to sink your teeth into. … Continue reading →

Godzilla(2014)

Posted on April 21, 2018 by filmicmag • Leave a comment

by Alistair Bennie Underwood Godzilla (2014) could very well be the best version of the enormous monster that we have to date. The typical story is known far and wide; enormous lizard shows up and starts eating Japan. Godzilla is a world wide icon that anyone and everyone instantly recognizes, similar to Sherlock Holmes. You … Continue reading →
