Tagged: genre: thriller
Impossible, The (2012)
A brutal and realistic, but ultimately inspiring true tale about a family that gets caught in a tsunami.
Killing Them Softly
Andrew Dominik’s latest is an imperfect but engaging gangster film with an amusingly unsubtle message about the American economy.
12 Movies that Marked my 2012
As per tradition, a list of twelve films that marked my 2012 so far for Spanish-language affiliate site Cinencuentro.
Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain (2013) Trailer
A pair of bodybuilders in Florida get caught up in an extortion ring and a kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong.
Dexter – Season 7
Dexter gets found out, meets would-be femme fatale Hannah McKay, and has detective LaGuerta on his Bay Harbor Butcher steps on the 7th season of the show, before the show’s demise next year.
Vince Carter – Rex Randall and the Jericho Secret
We follow Rex Randall, world-renowned author and self-made lothario. However, with five women, choppy prose, and a lack of real direction, it’s hard to decide whether or not the Jericho Secret is a secret we actually want to be told.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)
Seth Grahame-Smith’s 2010 mashup novel gets the film adaptation treatment. Despite not reading the book, I watched the film because of its interesting premise. Unfortunately, the premise happens to be the best part of the film.
Our Favorite Male Characters
The YAM Magazine staff picks their favorite male characters from both film and television.
Cold War (Hong Kong Film)
Cold War begins when one of the city’s hot spots gets bombed and a police van (alongside five officers) get taken away, held hostage and in-waiting for a handsome ransom. Dirty cops, corruption, ambition and a power struggle adorn Cold War to make it one of the most entertaining recent Hong Kong films.
