Indie Review: The Kings of Summer

I almost lost my opportunity to see this movie on the big screen. I was invited to a screening by TCFF a few weeks ago but I couldn't make it as I wasn't feeling well. But thankfully, I was able to make it to this press screening and boy, am I glad I did! This …

FlixChatter Review: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009)

Greetings, all and sundry! Having enjoyed a brief respite from double features and the career and filmography of Walter Matthau.

Indie Review: Lake Bell’s debut film ‘In A World’

Two of the films I was impressed with at MSPfest happen to be directed by women. One was Mira Nair's The Reluctant Fundamentalist, which is as far away from this one in terms of tone and subject matter, but I'd highly recommend both. I like the fact that this one is a comedy, it's quite …
