I’d never seen Training Day before this past week and so I had the idea in my head that Denzel Washington’s character, Alonzo, was the hero of our story. He was rough around the edges and a…

The Alexanderplatz in Berlin. Even if you have never been there, you can easily imagine what it looks like. You must have seen it on the news, a documentary, a video clip, or another movie.…

Coming nine years after his debut feature film, director Nicholas Jarecki returns with Crisis. The film stars Gary Oldman, Evangeline Lilly, and Armie Hammer and tells three colliding stories about the world of opioids and their…

Night Of The Living Dead. Paranormal Activity. The Blair Witch Project. All micro-budget horror films that made an absolute fortune at the box office. Which, unfortunately, leads hundreds of people to think making a horror film…
