Sigh. So this is what we’ve come to, huh, Internet? This is the film we want to fight over? Earlier this year, a French film titled Mignonnes, translated to Cuties, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to a general round of reviews best...
As long as art has existed, artists have tried to use the visual medium as a means of showing audiences what it looks like inside the mind of severe depression. From Van Gogh to Next to Normal, we have always seen artists trying to use their own...
It’s completely understandable if the first thing you think of when reading Babyteeth’s plot synopsis is The Fault In Our Stars. They do, after all, possess similar stories – a young girl with a serious-bordering-on-terminal disease finds a first...
I wasn’t going to watch Impractical Jokers: The Movie. I actually intentionally skipped it during its short-lived theatrical run. I have not seen the show. I never plan on seeing the show. The extent of my knowledge is that they have an...
They simply don’t make films like Unhinged anymore. I don’t say that as a good thing, and I don’t say it as a bad thing. After a significant downturn in the early 2000s (clearly the death of modern cinema), the low-to-mid budget horror thriller...
