Werewolf nuns, Imogen Annesley’s marsupial “pouch” right up in your face, and Tasmanian tigers. That’s what is tucked inside this hairy mess of a werewolf film. With a clever and humorous nod to cheesy B-movies, the third film in The Howling franchise was for many ...

Mid90s - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 26 October 2018; Written by Frank Wilkins

There’s no grand message in Mid90s, the heartfelt new film written and directed by actor Jonah Hill who takes his first turn at bat behind the camera. And there’s really not much of a story either. This sincere little coming of age film is perfectly content to simply sit back and ...
