Hobo with a Shotgun (2011)

1st View
Venue: Alamo S. Lamar (SxSW)


Sometimes movies just speak to you, or more to the point speak to your baser sensibilities and the little bastard kid in you. Hobo with a Shotgun is that film. Here's my FSR review...I liked it quite a bit.

The third feature film by my friend Emily Hagins. I was actually an extra in the film! Here's an article I wrote about Emily and her amazing story. Oh, did I mention Emily is 18?!

The Ain't It Cool News 15th Anniversary Secret Screening with special guest Guillermo del Toro! I had only just seen this film for the first time a few weeks ago. Decided to take advantage of this happenstance and cover Dragonslayer for Junkfood Cinema. Enjoy!

Kill List (2011)

Excellent sophomore film from director Ben Wheatley whose first film, Down Terrace, wowed Fantastic Fest audiences two years ago. Plays very well on the surface as a British gangster film and then goes to some wildly unexpected places and yet retains its cohesiveness and effectiveness. Great performances, deeply involving story, and a fantastic third act. Well done, sir!
