Sick
Not much plot to this slasher film Sick… it’s a Covid film set in 2020 during the initial wave of lockdowns. Two friends shelter in place in a very ritzy house on a lake… only to have a black-clad killer … Continue reading

Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, The
The Subtle Art is a documentary based on a book that I haven’t read (if it helps, I did read “On Bullshit” which seems to be in the same ballpark as far as marketing goes). It’s basic philosophy is that … Continue reading

Wolf of Snow Hollow, The

My Father’s Dragon
My Father’s Dragon is a bit of an unconventional animated fantasy. A little unfocused and maybe underwritten too… but super well-meaning and earnest. I’m just not 100% sure what it all means which might be a flaw in the script … Continue reading
