Movie Review: BLONDE Starring Ana de Armas
Directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) and adapted from Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name, Blonde is an uncomfortable look into the life of one of Hollywood’s most iconic leading ladies – Marilyn Monroe.

Movie Review: BARBARIAN Starring Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, Justin Long
With what seems like a very little amount of advertising and publicity before its release, Zach Cregger’s Barbarian creeps exclusively into theaters this weekend. Maybe the quietness surrounding the release was purposeful, as it seems the film is meant to be a hidden gem. With a rather ambiguous trailer, the plot of the film seems […]
