Review: HALLOWEEN ENDS With A Whimper

Review: ABIGAIL HARM, A Modern-Day Fairy Tale Done Right
I've always liked Amanda Plummer. Her small, gravelly voice, her fawn-like demeanor, and her hidden ferocity have always gotten my attention in the many films in which I've seen her. It's that fragile, otherworldly quality of the seasoned actress that...

Let this review guide you to MEEK'S CUTOFF

London 2010: MEEK'S CUTOFF Review
[Our thanks to Shelagh Rowan-Legg for the following review.]Everything and nothing happens in Kelly Reichardt's new film Meek's Cutoff. But that is precisely the point, and what makes this film a work of quiet genius. Unlike most tales of settlers...
