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

Hunt Her, Kill Her
After missing the inexplicable and short theatrical release, I’ve been eyeballing this flick for months now as it refused to drop below its overpriced $9.99 rental. It finally did – $4.99 – so I gave it a whirl. The flick … Continue reading
