I didn’t know what to expect from Mars Express when I sat down in the theater. I just knew it was animated sci-fi… didn’t know it was French nor did I know it would have this cool rotoscoped style. With … Continue reading
A pretty solid first act, a less good and disappointing everything else. This thriller starts with a cool character and a bit of driving in a blizzard suspense… throws in a surprise… and then struggles to fill the rest of … Continue reading

Humane is a film with so much potential in its first act that I was surprised how it slid downwards in such fits and starts. Its initial twist and switch to dark comedy was off-putting but I slowly adjusted to … Continue reading
Call it Arachnophobia II… or Peur des Araignées if you want to get French about it (since this killer spider movie is French). What we have here is a particularly skin-crawling creature feature that works great in its first two … Continue reading
