James Reviews Tonino Valerii’s Day Of Anger [Arrow Films USA Blu-Ray Review]
Lee Van Cleef and Giuliano Gemma are both electric in Day of Anger, one of the first movies Arrow Films is presenting to the U.S. audience. Is it worth your hard earned money? (The answer is yes)

Did James remember to rewind this feature or did he just tape over it with something better?

James Reviews E.L. Katz’s Cheap Thrills [Theatrical Review]
Drafthouse Films' Cheap Thrills is not cheap at all. But it is thrilling. And a film that won't leave you for awhile after watching it.
For Criterion Consideration: John Landis’ Into The Night
At first assuming this movie was nothing more than a bad romantic comedy from the terrible DVD box art, luckily James gave this underrated Landis film a chance and the rest is history.
James Reviews Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing [Theatrical Review]
In the amount of time it takes some people to get over the flu, Joss Whedon took his break between finishing filming The Avengers to the start of editing to make a Shakespearean adaptation. Does he do the Bard justice?
James Reviews Richard Raaphorst’s Frankenstein’s Army [Tribeca Film Festival 2013 Review]
Frankenstein's Army. Is the movie as good as its title?
James Reviews Karl Mueller’s Mr. Jones [Tribeca Film Festival 2013 Review]
Found footage films are a dime a dozen now, with many just using the genre as an easy way to make a quick buck and a cheap way of doing so. Thankfully, Mr. Jones is not one of those films.
James Reviews Richard Linklater’s Before Midnight [Tribeca Film Festival 2013 Review]
Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are back again, 9 years later, in Before Midnight. James loved the first two. Third time's a charm?

"The only thing maniacs are afraid of is other maniacs." Truer words have never been said.
James Reviews Emily Wilson’s Picnic Table [Film Review]
A surreal and demented short film from Vice editor Emily Wilson. A short film that I wish had a longer running time.
James Reviews Emanuel Hoss-Desmarais’ Whitewash [Tribeca Film Festival 2013 Review]
Sometimes waking up a little bit late and missing your first intended press screening is a blessing in disguise.
