First Look Review - "Magazine Dreams" 
If you thought Joker owed a lot to Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, you ain't seen nothing yet. Writer/director Eljah Bynum's Magazine Dreams is so indebted to those Scorsese movies (along with a couple of other obvious influences) that it makes Todd Phillips' film seem like a work of staggering originality by comparison. But for all its nods and homages, Magazine Dreams is a movie that keeps us engaged thanks to a fascinating central performance and a narrative that plays like a slow motion car crash from which we simply can't look away.
