Movie Review: Leviticus The age-old genre of religious conversion therapy horror. Thankfully, I don’t think that’s actually a legitimate genre, even though there are films that cover that content. Leviticus is a new horror-ish Aussie film that is powerful in premise, but what about the execution? Two teenage boys must escape a violent entity that takes…
Movie Review: Power Ballad Are you a fan of John Carney films? The name may not sound familiar, but he’s the writer-director behind a couple of musically awesome films like Once and Sing Street. His brand new film, Power Ballad, stars the forever young Paul Rudd and real-life singer-songwriter Nick Jonas, along with a mixtape…
Series Review: Paradise (Season 2) Season one of Hulu’s *Paradise* was a tense surprise hit, but now that we know there are survivors outside the bunker, will season two get even more intense, or is the show just going to lose its claustrophobic pressure?
