Office Christmas Party: Three Trailers

— by JESSIKA OWENS — Anybody who has ever had an office job can probably safely say they have fantasized about letting loose and just destroying the office in a drunken rage whilst watching co-workers act like bumbling fools. Perhaps I’m speaking for myself, but it sounds fun in my[...]

Short Film Theater: ‘Successful Alcoholics’

— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — “Successful Alcoholics” is a short film is made up of two contradictory ideas. While it tries to be funny, it also tries to tackle the issue of alcoholism in a serious manner. Whether it is successful or not is a different story[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Our Idiot Brother’

— by SEAN GERSKI — Paul Rudd. Elizabeth Banks. Zooey Deschanel. Adam Scott. Rashida Jones. If I told you those five were all in one upcoming comedy, I’m guessing you already know whether you are in or out. Me? I’d go see a comedy that had any one of them, so …[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘She’s Out of My League’

Trailer Talk: Successful Alcoholics
