Film Reviews
Songwriter is a fun and lighthearted look at the process of behind pop music songwriting, with a little bit of a background on the man behind the guitar and mic.
Dusty & Me is a greyhound leap ahead of similar films that have come before but as dog tales go it can’t quite keep the company of classic animal epics – it’s not quite that memorable.
With a distinctly nineties feel, An L.A. Minute is surreal and thought-provoking, even in its imperfect moments.

Sharp Objects’ powerful series finale is a masterful instance of persistent hard work and a careful attention to detail paying off.
It almost feels as though “The High Cost of Loathing” should have been The Venture Bros.’ season premiere, with the previous three episodes being a self contained trilogy.

Five Fingers for Marseilles is sporadically entertaining while watching, but devoid of the food for thought a film with this subject matter urgently needs.
Instead of living up to its Godard and Whedon-esque aspirations, Blood Fest shoots itself in the foot, delivering cliche after cliche in a formulaic, hopelessly grating package.
Team WahlBerg’s latest effort Mile 22 is abysmal, wasting the talents of all parties involved for a schlocky, aggressive shoot ‘em up picture.
