Self Isolation Film Festival: The Town

Self Isolation Film Festival: The Town

I don't know why I love The Town so much. Maybe it's because it's so Boston, the biggest city near where I grew up in Rhode Island. Maybe it's because it's an exciting, tense film based on Chris Hogan's book. Maybe it's because it's full of strong performances by...

Self Isolation Film Festival: Superman the Movie

Playmobil the Movie

Playmobil the Movie

Imagine the pitch: Daniel Radcliffe and Jim Gaffigan are going to headline an animated movie (with Kenan Thompson, Meghan Trainor, and Adam Lambert) based on a hit toy series with direction and story by Prep & Landing animator Lino DiSalvo. You're in, right? It's...

Dark Waters: The Truth is Still Here

Dark Waters: The Truth is Still Here

Dark Waters might be the most terrifying film I've seen lately. It's not shockingly horror-soaked like It Chapter Two but it's deep dive into the capitalistic manipulation of a chemical company in West Virginia from the 1960s-2000s is disturbing. Thankfully, there are...
