Fantasia 2024 Review: TIMESTALKER, Alice Lowe Chases The Love of Their Lives
They say "You'll find love when you stop looking for it." Well, I can tell you from experience that I stopped a long time ago and either I’m not looking very well or it’s complete bullshit. On the other...
Sundance 2024 Review: KRAZY HOUSE, Crude, Uninspired Satire Fails to Bring the Pain
The simple, straightforward idea of actor-comedian Nick Frost (At the World’s End, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) in full-on berserker mode all but sells itself. On the strength of that idea alone, failure should be the least likely of...

Review: THE BOXTROLLS Is Corrugated Yet Impressive
You give a kid a flashy brand-name mechanical toy, but he'll have more fun playing with the box. As that old truism goes for kids, perhaps it'll prove just as true for filmgoers. In 2014, Transformers: Age of Extinction -...
