Movie Reviews

There’s simply no denying that Gaspar Noé is one of modern cinema’s most revered filmmakers… or perhaps, most reviled, depending on your opinion. Alongside peers like Lars Von Trier and Darren Aronofsky, Noé has set the bar for breathtaking artistry and a confrontational film style that completely spits in the …

In this second look at the paranormal documentary, Demon House (you can read the first review here), we follow Zak Bagans, the infamous and charming lead investigator of the TV show, Ghost Adventures. Curious after hearing of a case of possession in a small Indiana home, Zak leads his fellow …

When I stumbled upon the film, 30 Miles From Nowhere, in a discussion thread, I had never heard of it before. I knew I was going to watch it when I saw it starred that two actors from TV shows that I absolutely adore. I had little to no expectations …
