Queen & Slim
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 26/11/2019 20:12 EST Once again it is Oscar bait season and the plethora of well made, terrifically acted feature films is ramping up into high gear.

In her feature film direc... Read More |

Ford v Ferrari
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 13/11/2019 13:27 EST The French seem to have a knack for creating long-standing endurance races.

Midway
![]() (Alyn Darnay) 07/11/2019 09:23 EST After a dearth of good films to watch, here comes "MIDWAY", a big screen WWII action adventure based upon real life events that had me wanting more when it was over.
