I’ve always loved a good star-crossed lovers story and I enjoy crime thrillers. This was much of the appeal of checking out Marmalade, the directorial debut of actor Keir O’Donnell. The film combines both genres, telling a tale of two lovers separated by freedom and prison. Synopsis Follows a man …

When I was given the chance to review Turkish-born German-based filmmaker Zetkin Yikilmis’ Pink Rabbit, I didn’t have a clue what to expect outside of the plot description and honestly that was probably for the best for me as I went in with no expectations. Pink Rabbit was a crazy …

When it comes to your standard movie monsters like zombies werewolves and vampires, its hard to find an original idea, as they’ve been used so much. It is a rare treat when you find a film that manages to tell a different kind of story than usual, and that’s exactly …
