While the film does have its exciting sequences, the comedy never quite… Continue reading UNHUMAN

The nature documentary titled Deep in the Heart, directed by Ben… Continue reading DEEP IN THE HEART

CRIMES OF THE FUTURE
From the legendary filmmaker who brought audiences The Brood, Scanners, and The Fly, but also A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, and A Dangerous Method, comes a sort of return-to-roots movie that promises the shock-and-awe for which he is (in)famous. David Cronenberg has had a rather fascinating career in cinema. He made a name for… Continue reading CRIMES OF THE FUTURE

THE BOB’S BURGERS MOVIE
Though I have never watched the Bob’s Burgers animated series religiously, I have enjoyed the funny and goofy antics of the Belcher family from time to time. It is definitely one of those comfortable, mostly inoffensive animated shows with humor and themes geared mostly toward adults. To be honest, it has been a long time… Continue reading THE BOB’S BURGERS MOVIE
