The Wolf of Snow Hollow is a peppy and enjoyable little gory werewolf black comedy. I was often baffled at what tone they were going for… that is, until Jim Cummings starts to unravel and turn into a shouting anxiety-prone … Continue reading
Forgive me for using this obvious but completely apt adjective here, but The Menu is a delicious movie-going experience. A wicked and cruelly delightful satirical spit in the eye of a film. The flick is about an exclusive island where … Continue reading
