Schlock & Awe is devoted to celebrating the joyous, almost innocent, creative spark behind the films that didn't change the world.

The apocalyptic aspect of the final act, while being a strange surprise that isn't introduced clearly, made me fall in love this film.

I've been known to complain about the lack of good science fiction cinema these days, but I suppose there's rarely been a time when there were consistently good sci-fi films filling the theaters.

Well that was simply awful.

There's not a cynical bone in this show's body. Plus, it's really very good.

Everything about this film is operating on all cylinders. It's funny, it's dramatic, and it never loses sight of what the audience wants from a Marvel Studios movie.

All Binge... No Purge

September 16, 2013 1 18

This is just beautifully sad, but hopeful and funny at the same time. The tears were from love, not sorrow.

Low Winter Sun 1.05 “Cake on the Way”

Paul Brian McCoy

September 11, 2013 0 14

Whenever the show shifts gears and focuses on two or three characters alone in a room interacting, you can trust in the skills of the performers to make it work.

Regular Show: Fright Pack DVD Review

September 2, 2013 0 38

Maybe Fright Pack isn't nearly the wallet-gouging money-grab it seems to be at first glance. Maybe it’s a way to trim the fat from the show and just grab the highlights.

Paul Brian McCoy

August 28, 2013 0 12

It's another week of Low Winter Sun and another week of Mark Strong and Lennie James operating on all cylinders.

Every performance is perfect. Every scene is directed with confidence and swagger.

Low Winter Sun 1.02 “The Goat Rodeo”

Paul Brian McCoy

Ernest R. Dickerson directs the hell out this episode and the acting team of Mark Strong and Lennie James do all of the heavy lifting.

Low Winter Sun 1.01 “Pilot”

Paul Brian McCoy

August 13, 2013 0 6

Low Winter Sun is a strange beast.

Elysium (2013) Review

Paul Brian McCoy

August 12, 2013 0 14

But it's not a total loss. At least not if you're a design-wonk, because this is a beautifully designed film.
