One of Lost in Reviews' favorite films of SXSW 2012 was Killer Joe. I can't be around the guy for a day without him mentioning the film. Well Kansas City the time is finally here for us to experience Killer Joe. This Friday August 24 Killer Joe opens at the Alamo Drafthouse Mainstreet. Further it's getting its... Continue Reading →
My excitement is through the roof as the trailer for my favorite movie of the year was released today. The preview gives nothing away and still manages to engage it's audience. An audience that won't be under the age of 17 however, as Killer Joe has maintained it's NC-17 branding. A rating that I don't think it deserves. You can read my review of... Continue Reading →
I had the opportunity to sit down with a small group of people and talk to the cast and crew of The Cabin in the Woods in individual sessions. The most interesting interview, by far, was with Drew Goddard (Director/Writer) and Joss Whedon (Writer). I am very excited to finally be able to share this with... Continue Reading →

I viewed the film on demand after hearing lots of internet buzz surrounding a movie that seemingly came from nowhere.

I had a chance to discuss the Tape 57 segment of V/H/S with its writer Simon Barrett, Tape 57 serves as the segment that ties the film together. Barrett tends to get on some tangents in relation to his work on V/H/S and comes across as a guy that is packed with ideas. I'm still a bit... Continue Reading →
The 1100 Warehouse is a music venue by conversion only. The sweltering venue which seemed devoid of any meaningful air circulation after hustling my way over to it down Austin's legendary, and during SXSW busy and closed sixth street and under the I-35 bridge, makes one feel like they've left downtown Austin. The venue sits... Continue Reading →
Alright, let's get the facts straight. Beautiful ladies rocking out on guitars and drums is an amazing sight, but its even better when they are actually talented. There is no better example of this than Follow that Bird. Follow that Bird was one of the bands playing opening night of the SXSW music section. They... Continue Reading →
