Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is about Mrs. Harris who goes to Paris… to buy a Christian Dior gown (frock) in 1957. She has no practical idea how the House of Dior works, but she’s got gumption and the respect … Continue reading
Room 203 is a horror show that – like many others – leans on the crutch of dark room = scary and then forgets to be scary. I shudder to think what these filmmakers would do if anyone turned on … Continue reading
Don’t Make Me Go is an Amazon Prime original with an emotional time bomb at its core. You know it’s coming and you know it’s probably going to wreck you and the longer the movie goes and the longer you … Continue reading
