Summer ’03 is a teenage coming of age film like many others… though maybe a little more off-kilter and a little more raunchy than some. Not by a country mile, but certainly it has some naughtiness. None of its amazing … Continue reading
For a decent amount of time, I found this… documentary?… pretty decent. But the longer it went, the more shallow, repetitive, and disorganized it felt. The flick is hosted by Rob Lowe and his iffy script as he goes through … Continue reading

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is an anime-style story set in the Witcher book, tv series, and video game universe. If you aren’t familiar with The Witcher, I’m not sure this is a great entry point. The animation It … Continue reading
