Fantastic Fest 2016/SXSW 2017 Review: COLOSSAL

SXSW 2017 Review: A BAD IDEA GONE WRONG
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) One of my first films of this year’s festival was a rather amusing comedy that reminds me of “slacker” comedies from the 90s (Clerks, Reality Bites, Kicking and Screaming). As a man who went through his late teens and twenties during that era, I rather enjoyed… Continue reading SXSW 2017 Review: A BAD IDEA GONE WRONG
