Review – Hell or High Water

By guest columnist David Leninhawk. Hell or High Water at times feels like a film from the 1970s. It has a simple story, but that story is told with a focus on interesting and well-drawn characters and with the smallest amount of formula necessary. It is dark in tone while being bright and hot in

Review: Norse Mythology – by Neil Gaiman

Elizabeth and I are going to try something different with this review.

And by story, I mean a collection of things that happen in a roughly linear timeframe to characters who don’t really have a concrete motivation and you’re not entirely sure what happens to

Review – Manchester by the Sea

By guest columnist cine_bomb. Honestly, despite all the buzz I wasn’t really looking forward to this film because it was long and didn’t really seem that interesting, but I’m glad I went through with it as I ended up being really blown away.
