KILL YOUR DARLINGS, just released on Blu-ray and DVD, charts the startling but largely unknown story of a 1940s murder that had a huge effect on the life of then-budding Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, along with Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs and other later-to-be-famous figures. Daniel Radcliffe stars as Ginsberg, with Dane DeHaan as Lucien Carr, Michael C. Hall as David Kammerer, Jack Huston as Kerouac and Ben Foster as Burroughs.

Stars: Jake Gyllenhall, Melanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon, Isabella Rossellini Writer: Javier Gullon, based on the novel THE DOUBLE by Jose Saramago Director: Denis Villeneuve Distributor: A24 Theatrical Release Date: March 21, 2014 The film ENEMY is based on Jose Saramago’s 2004 novel THE DOUBLE. Saramago is a Nobel Prize-winning author, and it’s entirely possible the source material for this movie is brilliant. ENEMY, however, is not. If it is the chronicle of a disaffected, bored young college professor having a nervous breakdown, we don’t know enough about the man to care and the details of his delusion don’t intrigue us; […]Read On »

Exactly how much is true is not as interesting a question as how writer Jonathan Fernandez and director Raymond De Felitta took such a promising premise and managed to flatten it out by emphasizing the wrong angles. Tommy Uva (Michael Pitt) and his girlfriend Rose Marie (Nina Arianda) are […]Read On »
