I’m a fan of Jason Sudeikis so I signed up for a spin through Driven, his semi-serious look at how a con man turned up as an informant for the government while twisting John DeLorean (creator of that car) all about. It’s funny, sad, and meandering, with a particularly strong reminder that greed rarely gets… [Read More]
Skin: Can We Change?
“You have three choices: die young, life in prison, or start talking.”– Daryle Lamont Jenkins Watching Guy Nattiv’s Skin is like watching brutally violent, incredibly profane lyrical poetry on screen.
