Out Now: The Hurt Locker

Out Now: The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones is a fantastic novel. Alice Sebold constructed an intricate story with deep characters in such an unusual way that to translate that onto film would be a difficult task.

Out Now – Antichrist

Just the mention of the title should make you break out into a sweat! Lord have mercy on me for watching this catastrophe of a movie. When I say this, I mean it in both positive and negative light. Catastrophes leave people broken, unyielding and sometimes, they are left with hope. This movie left me...

Out on DVD: Funny People
