Read MoreDuring the dawn of Viddy Well, we asked each interested contributor to fill out the same questionnaire. The questions spanned from grave to goofy, but the replies were nearly always unexpected. This week we discuss our favorite scene in a film.
Read MorePoster art is a great way to build anticipation for a film, and it's always a drag when the film doesn't stack up to the feel of the marketing art. Since launch on our Facebook, we’ve been compiling our favorite posters from movies where the art eclipsed the finished product. Here is our list of the top poster art from films that don’t stack up to their advertised art!

Read MoreIt's not hard for me to believe that Jared's since reached the heights he has today, but the journey toward the peak is seldom ever expected. For instance, I never thought he'd cover the campaign trail like a modern day Hunter S. Thompson (minus the substance abuse), which led to several death threats from neo-Nazi scum, or that his coverage would break national, leading to several appearances on MSNBC, either. But that's just where our lives lead us sometimes, and for Jared Yates Sexton, it's led him into some pretty interesting places.
Read MoreStanley Kubrick is notorious for being one of cinema's most iconic imagists. With an eye as sharp as Kubrick's, it should come as no surprise that he earned his foundation in photography. Employed by Look Magazine at only the age of 17, Kubrick quickly became known for his storytelling through his photographs. When viewing his images, it becomes very clear that Kubrick has a natural cinematic eye. Nearly all of his images are captivating, both in composition and subject matter. Some of the best amongst the bunch involve children and capture that sense of childlike wonder, the feeling that the world's in front of them and not in the rearview. Some of them even bring to mind certain compositions or concepts that later become apparent in his films.

Read MoreThere is no doubting that Ray-Ban sunglasses maintain a position of undeniable and unapologetic cultural iconicity over the last (almost) century. We feel our own rebellious freedom with Tom Cruise as he gets into Risky Business and slides across the floor without pants (which is an interesting Mandela Effect). We absorb mysterious severity as the Reservoir Dogs step heavy on the pavement. We exude glamour with Audrey Hepburn as she delicately sips her coffee and lowers her shades. We contemplate with JFK. We see reflections in Bob Dylan’s dark lenses. It’s almost as if the Hollywood organism has plastic frames engrained in its genetic code.

Read MoreI had better memories of Scream 2 than I did with the original. I remember liking the sequel discussion set in the classroom and the first two kills in the movie theater. I thought nostalgia would be enough to carry me through this slasher film, instead I found more of the same faults as I did with the previous film; lots of dead end subplots, misdirection, and unnecessary red herrings.
Read MoreA recurring agreement I keep seeing on many horror movie forums and comment boards is that the 90s sucked for horror until Scream came out and changed the way we look at the genre. From what I’ve read in these discussions, many consider pre-1996 a dry spell for quality horror. Scream absolutely did lay the meta down thick by pointing at the overdone clichés, plot devices, and poor character choices of horror films, particularly with the slasher subgenre. To many, Scream brought about a new era of semi-aware horror that would allow its characters to be more realistic and have its terrors resonate deeper with the audience.

Read MoreFor this iteration of Case Of The Mondays, we explore the lengths people will go to when all the chips are stacked against them. This week, we're taking a look at E.L. Katz's 2013 dark comedy directorial debut, Cheap Thrills, which fundamentally asks the question: how much are you willing to debase yourself in order to make ends meet?
Read MoreIn case you didn't know it, today is World Mosquito Day, which is observed every August 20th in commemoration of British doctor Sir Ronald Ross and his 1897 discovery that female mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans. We thought there'd be no better way to pay homage to the annual holiday than to discuss the 1995 cult classic film about mutant mosquitoes that transmit gory, eye-exploding death to all its victims.

Read MoreWhat if Spielberg produced High Tension? Or how about Richard Donner helming Martyrs? Maybe Rob Reiner doing Inside? If you cringed at anyone of these thoughts like I did, I recommend you watch Among The Living because it's evidence that these weird combinations can actually work well together.

Read MoreWe've all been there before, face to face with some intimidating, emotionless individual, uncomfortably dressed and expected to impress, to sell ourselves with confidence and without pretension for a job we so desperately want or need. It's awkward and unnerving by design and definition. They may as well call it a polite interrogation, since that's what it really is. The job interview is just one of those formalities we've all just come to accept and go along with.

Read MoreWe've all worked jobs we've hated. Hell, you may be working one right now. One things for sure, if you gotta case of the Mondays, we'd like to help with that. So, just sit back, keep your cool, and let this scenes of workplace meltdowns give you all the catharsis you know you need.
