This week's list is heavy with comedies, but what a diverse set they are! From modern indie fare to classic screwball with a couple that are held up as the…
Review: The Last Vermeer
The Last Vermeer is part arty and part mainstream, with familiar elements of both a post-WWII period drama and a courtroom drama. I liked it okay, but couldn’t help feeling…
Cinema Clash Podcast: The Climb, Come Away
I wasn't blown away by Come Away. But I was somewhat entertained by The Climb. To find out why, tune in to this edition of the Cinema Clash podcast! Charlie…
Review: Come Away
I'm conflicted about Come Away. It presents an intriguing concept and has some visual appeal and a solid cast, but I just don't think we need another spin on one…

Happy Halloween and Pre-Election Day Weekend! On this quaranstream edition of the Cinema Clash, I chat about Holidate, the bawdy holiday romcom now on Netflix, Charlie talks about the horror…

Okay, so maybe the title piqued my curiosity more than it deserved to. But I simply had to know if a little indie called Sh*thouse might be worth a sh*t.…
Quickie Review: Honest Thief
Honestly, Liam, what were you thinking? Honest Thief is simply not worthy of your well-documented 'particular set of skills.' The plot is beyond paper thin, making this particular action crime…
