Movie Preview: Blair Witch Myth Marketing Lives! “Weapons”
This August release is mainly interesting because of the way the “Maybrook Missing” children, who (in the film) dashed out of their homes and into the night at 2:17 pm, is being shallow faked into “reality.” It’s an August 8 … Continue reading

Movie Review: Melodrama polished to a fine sheen, “Bonjour Tristesse”
The serene overheated-via-slow-simmer melodrama “Bonjour Tristesse” leaves its 1950s origins behind in a shimmering new screen adaptation by first-time writer/director Durga Chew-Bose.
