  • “When I am writing, my problems become invisible, and I am the same person I always was. All is well. I am as I should be.” —Roger Ebert for Vanity Fair in 2010    Whether you’re a frequent or fairweather moviegoer, mover or maker in the industry, or an avid blogger on these subjects, you know who Roger Ebert was and what he did. His film criticism—for decades both so concise as to spark debate...1April 4, 2013

    Roger Ebert: June 18, 1942 – April 4, 2013

  • New Comedy, Animation, Drama, and Documentary Plus Filmmaker Appearances Highlight Festival Line-up More than 2,800 submissions from around the world were considered for this year’s Aspen Shortsfest with a lucky 83 short films representing more than 30 countries ultimately selected. Beginning April 9th through the 14th at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen and the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale, the 2013 edition showcases a vibrant array of comedy, drama, animation and documentary film. Aspen Shortsfest...0April 4, 2013

    The 2013 Aspen Shortsfest Kicks Off April 9th

  •   The exquisitely unrevealing trailer of Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest film is finally here. Only God Forgives has really big shoes to fill after Refn’s wildly popular and critically acclaimed previous effort Drive (2011), but from the looks of this small glimpse, it’s sure to at least deliver the same amount of orchestrated violence, criminal underbelly, and most importantly, the always gorgeous Ryan Gosling.0April 4, 2013

    Trailer: ONLY GOD FORGIVES

  • The Sie Filmcenter is fortunate and awesome enough to showcase a rare treat for all of us Denver cinephiles starting this weekend and continuing the next: the complete films of Pierre Etaix. Little seen and long tied up in contractual legalities for decades prohibiting home video release, Janus Films has finally gained the rights to restore and exhibit his entire body of work produced within ten years between 1961 and ‘71. Etaix got his filmic...0April 3, 2013

    Pierre Etaix Retrospective at The Sie Filmcenter starts April 5th

  • We’ve begged and pleaded for the Stanley Film Festival organizers to tease us with even the slightest hint of programming for their inaugural Horror film festival at the Stanley Hotel – our wait is over. While there are a number reasons to attend this frighteningly fabulous festival – Sleeping in the lush beds at the Stanley Hotel, partying with paranormal activity, limitless viewing of The Shining - it is after all a film festival, so...0April 2, 2013

    Stanley Film Festival Announces First Wave Film Lineup

  • “It’s Latino World Cinema,” says XicanIndie Film Festival Director and filmmaker Daniel Salazar.  “Movies have always expressed our hopes and dreams as well as our common humanity.” The two Spanish-speaking theaters in Denver have long closed, and with that, so have opportunities for Spanish-speaking patrons to engage with Latino cinema outside of the occasional arthouse run of newer films. Sensing this fallout, El Centro Su Teatro—Denver’s premier theater company for homegrown Latino productions—started the Chicano...0March 25, 2013

    The 15th Annual XicanIndie FilmFest kicks off April 4th

  • It’s strange how powerful cinema can be with only 2 of our five senses stimulated: Sight and Sound. At a recent media tour and the soft opening, Training Days of the Alamo Drafthouse in Littleton, I was reminded how this movie lover’s haven captures yet 2 more: tapping the olfactory and taste buds. It’s a fully immersive experience at the Drafthouse and this extends to every detail of the newest theater at the Littleton, Colorado...0March 24, 2013

    Alamo Drafthouse Littleton: Full Immersion

  • A deceptively pivotal character in Harmony Korine’s latest uncritical indulgence, Faith (Selena Gomez) is a young and casually Christian college student growing listless with her boring college dorm life. She attends a church youth group lead by a middle-aged minister who appropriates a gutless street-smart persona and cringeworthy lingo to contort tired religious delusion into “edge” and a hip lifestyle. Faith isn’t buying it, and her longing gaze out of stained-glass windows and along stretches...0March 20, 2013

    Review: SPRING BREAKERS

  • The British Film Institute (BFI) recently restored film prints of 9 cinematic gems of Alfred Hitchcock’s early filmmaking. Dubbed ‘The Hitchcock 9′, BFI, in conjunction with Park Circus/ITV Studios and Rialto Pictures/Studiocanal is giving a U.S. tour screening the 9 films. The prints will be touring to planned stops in Washington D.C., Berkeley, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Boston and more … but as of yet Denver has not appeared in that “and more” section. So why bother...1March 20, 2013

    ‘The Hitchcock 9′ & Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra

  • This latest genre plunder from television and film director-for-hire Brad Anderson was originally titled “The Hive”, a name less evocative of a cheap 200-page mystery thriller and a little more indicative of the ever-moving and invisible network of 911 dispatchers guarding us while we sleep. To be fair, The Call has compelling moments within its first half-hour suggesting the potential for a smarter film specifically about this thankless job most never consider. The first fictional...0March 14, 2013
