end of watch Reviews, Interviews & More
This week is pretty soft, but one of out favorite films of the year hits the market this week, one of last year’s most buzzed about Sundance films comes out, and in the classics, there’s a John Ford film, and some horror stuff of interest.
This has been a huge pivot point for movies in how they're made and distributed. 2012 was the year where the film industry turned its back on 35 millimeter film (which has been the standard for well over a century), with digital projection no longer just an option but the standard. At the same time a filmmaker like Paul Thomas Anderson shot a movie on 70mm - a format that hadn't been used...
There are three films opening this weekend: Hotel Transylvania, Looper and Won't Back Down. With the latter, I haven't heard much chatter about it, but that's partly because I'm in no way its target demographic, and neither are most people who read movie news websites.

His latest film, End of Watch tackles the mean streets of L.A. through the eyes of two officers, played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena. Like Training Day and Dark Blue before it, the film takes a brutally honest look at life on the beat.
Director David Ayer’s (Harsh Times, Street Kings) newest film, End of Watch, finds Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena as two Los Angeles police officers who make a discovery that puts them in the crosshairs of a drug cartel. The film was shot with handheld HD cameras, giving it a surreal, hyperkinetic look that meshes...
Believe it or not, David Ayer's latest film End of Watch debuted some new footage at this year's Comic-Con. It's not sci-fi, fantasy, or horror; rather, it highlights the brutal life of a cop. During the film's panel, Ayer unveiled three scenes which introduced the film's boys in blue: Jake Gyllenhaal and...
This week, the trailer for End of Watch, from Street Kings director and Training Day writer David Ayer, hit the web. Also, Breaking Bad fans will be happy to know that the series is definitely coming back for a fifth season – we've got video to prove it. And finally, to those of you who...
