Jussie Smollett performed Saturday for the first time since it was reported that he was assaulted by two men in Chicago in the early morning hours of Jan. 29. Taking the stage at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, he fought back tears as he said, “I had to be here tonight, y’all. I can’t let the motherf—ers win.”
“I have so many words on my heart,” the actor/singer said, addressing the 400-capacity club after embracing members of his family. “The most important thing I have to say is thank you so much and that I’m okay. I’m not fully healed yet, but I’m going to. And I’m gonna stand strong with y’all… l will always stand for love. I will never stand for anything other than that. Regardless of what anyone else says, I will only stand for love. And I hope...

Corman’s World
Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel Directed by Alex Stapelton Featuring Interviews with Roger Corman, Jack Nicholson, Ron Howard, and Martin Scorsese Review by Brandon Moore
Considering the fact that he has been writing, producing, and directing films for more than half a century, it’s shocking that it’s taken this long to produce a credible documentary regarding King of the B-Movies Roger Corman. Two years after his honorary Oscar, Corman’S World: Exploits Of A Hollywood Rebel explores the history of one of cinema’s most prolific writer/director/producers. However, while the admiration for Corman’s work ethic and talent shine through, the documentary struggles to be little more than a fluff piece that could be reconstructed on Wikipedia, and never truly gains a sense of how Corman feels about his long and varied career.
Interview subjects range from actors who careers Corman jumpstarted to...

Camel Spiders 85 Minutes Directed by Jim Wynorski Review by Brandon Moore
In an age of instant digital video gratification, there is still a place for B movies—the partnership between Asylum and Syfy Channel with such films as Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus and Zombie Apocalpyse have shown this much. Roger Corman, who built his career on a reputation of getting the most bang (and boobs) for your buck with a repertoire that includes the original Piranha and Death Race 2000, most recently lends his name to Camel Spiders, a “film” (and I do use the term loosely) that is so achingly terrible, that even King of the B Movies Corman himself should have thought twice before slapping his name on this and allowing it to see the light of day.
The film traces the path of the titular camel spiders from the deserts of Afghanistan to the similarly/identically dressed deserts of Arizona,...

Retreat
90 Minutes, Rated R
Directed by
Carl Tibbetts
Starring
Thandie Newton, Cillian Murphy, and Jamie Bell
Review by
Brandon Moore
Plot: Following a marital tragedy, Kate (Newton) and Martin (Murphy) return to a cabin located on an isolated island where they previously vacationed. However, upon rescuing a wounded young man named Jack (Bell), they soon find themselves ensnared by the stranger’s mysterious agenda.
Characters isolated in a remote setting and threatened by a force outside of their control has been a staple of the thriller genre since Agatha Christie first penned And Then There Were None in 1939. In the years since, the locations have evolved (summer camps, the ocean, space ships), but the threat often remains the same: an individual or collective entity picking the characters off one by one. It is an ideal archetype for preying on our fears; what could be scarier than inhabiting a location in which we don’t belong,...
