Early Buzz: The Coen Brothers Wow Cannes With ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ By Russ Fischer/May 20, 2013 5:00 pm EST The work of Joel and Ethan Coen owes much to many who went before them, but they have few equals.

New ‘Ghost Team One’ Trailer: “Did You Just Bang A Ghost?” By Russ Fischer/Sept. 12, 2013 3:00 pm EST It is well-established that low-budget supernatural films do well, and jokey low-budget party movies also do well. So why not combine the two? This year’s Slamdance festival saw the premiere of Ghost Team One, a film that is being positioned as a sort of “Paranormal Activity meets Project X” combo. We saw a trailer back in January, which was effectively a red-band look that emphasized the film’s weirdness....
