Movie Review: The Florida Project
Andrea Thompson October 9, 2017

Some directors are virtuosos not just for their skill, but for how well they pull off the difficult subjects they choose to focus on, such as the lives of the impoverished. Often films about those wit…

Movie Review: Death Note
Michael Fairbanks August 26, 2017

Towards the end of Adam Wingard’s adaptation of Death Note, Light Turner (Nat Wolff) cracks open his locker to reveal a “normal people scare me” sticker inside, which about sums the rest of the affair…
