DUSTY & ME: Slight Dog and His Boy Story Not Without Its Charms
DUSTY & ME: Not Without Its Charms

Dusty & Me is a greyhound leap ahead of similar films that have come before but as dog tales go it can’t quite keep the company of classic animal epics – it’s not quite that memorable.

AN L.A. MINUTE: The Velocity of Fame and Fortune
AN L.A. MINUTE: The Velocity Of Fame & Fortune

SEARCHING: A Cautionary Tale Elevated By A Gimmick

A striking cautionary tale with authentic performances, Searching is a small thriller whose computer-screen gimmick actually elevates its subject matter.

FIVE FINGERS FOR MARSEILLES: A South African Western Living In The Shadow Of Its Influences

Five Fingers for Marseilles is sporadically entertaining while watching, but devoid of the food for thought a film with this subject matter urgently needs.

BLOOD FEST: Silly Horror Remix Fails To Subvert Expectations

Instead of living up to its Godard and Whedon-esque aspirations, Blood Fest shoots itself in the foot, delivering cliche after cliche in a formulaic, hopelessly grating package.

MILE 22: An Abysmal, Cacophonous, Incoherent Ride

Team WahlBerg’s latest effort Mile 22 is abysmal, wasting the talents of all parties involved for a schlocky, aggressive shoot ‘em up picture.

IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY: Depression and Mortality
IT’S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY: Depression & Mortality

Don Hertzfeldt’s 2012 animation is an authentic depiction of depression, mental illness and mankind’s relationship with the universe.

ALPHA: A Surprisingly Endearing Watch
ALPHA: A Surprisingly Endearing Watch

With its dedicated cast, some awe-inspiring cinematography, and a gripping survival story at its center, Alpha is a far better film than one would expect to find.
