  • Russ Fischer's Top Ten Films Of 2014

    Focus, simplicity and control. As I look back over the films of 2014, the ones that most stay with me are not the sprawling epics or the movies that tried to cram a surplus of ideas or technique into one story. (Sorry, Birdman and Interstellar.) They're the movies, not even necessarily the "small" ones, that…

  • 'Nightcrawler' Red-Band Trailer: Vulgar Praise Flows For The Excellent Thriller

    This Nightcrawler red-band trailer is unusual. Most red-band trailers are restricted because of the language or images contained in the film footage. In this one, most of the foul language comes from critic quotes praising the film. (Though the characters spew a few choice lines, too.) And, yeah, Nightcrawler is great; as bitingly funny as…

  • New 'Nightcrawler' TV Spot And Poster: Succinct And Perfectly Seedy

    I'm getting to the point where I love the one-minute and even the 30-second trailer. Take Nightcrawler, a film which looks truly great, and about which I've heard nothing but good things since it started doing the festival rounds a few weeks ago. Dan Gilroy's tale of seedy Los Angeles news reporting boasts a lead…
