MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS

Not too often do we have a 40-something-year-old cleaning lady as the lead in a movie, but director/co-writer Anthony Fabian manages a sweet and entertaining tale of kindness and determination.

WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING

Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, Where the Crawdads Sing tells a rather compelling story of a young child-turned-woman of very limited means, who manages to survive and thrive, despite the abusive environment that she endures.

THE SUMMONED

Now available on VOD is a movie that has a novel premise, but definitely comes across as a knock-off of Get Out, without the smartly written and conceived social commentary. The movie has its moments, no doubt, but fails when it comes to delivering genuine frights. It also feels rather shallow and weak when it… Continue reading THE SUMMONED
