Tutor, The
The Tutor is a movie that wants to be good but spends so much time thinking a monotone soundtrack and a dark color palette is enough to get it there. It wasn’t… it was barely enough to keep my eyes … Continue reading

Karen
I don’t know what the problem is… this movie is a hoot. A real crime against subtly and thoughtful drama. It’s got as much tonal whiplash as it does hammy over-acting and goofy writing. It’s not a good movie but … Continue reading

Perfect Guy, The (2015)
The Perfect Guy is yet another stalker / domestic suspense movie (think Fatal Attraction, The Crush, The Boy Next Door, etc.) – this time a woman breaks up with her commitment-phobic boyfriend of two years, meets a great (maybe even … Continue reading
