As a life-long DC fan, I have felt a little bit like a diehard football fan that backs his underperforming team, no matter what. It both evokes a sense of pride and of blind foolishness, when, no matter how much you love a particular brand of something, you must concede that they have lost in ...

The low-budget Christian drama Dispatched is like a movie version of a street preacher. You may have been just going about your daily business, but it grabs you by the shirt collar.

Doors slam shut on their own. Dark figures lurk in the shadows. Unnatural images in the mirror. This is a movie, quite literally, about all the haunted skeletons in one man’s closet and, as it takes its time with the build-up, makes for a HELL of a ride through the darkest night of the soul ...

From the producer of Get Out and Us, Antebellum (2020) is hard to watch as it depicts the realities of slavery. Everything from branding a human being to committing rape and murder is vividly portrayed. Thankfully, some scenes take place in the present day which give the viewer a much ...
