Now You See Me Review
Now You See Me is a deliriously fun, albeit silly movie, but if you were thinking of seeing a movie about and all star cast of magicians pulling off heists from the director of The Transporter what did you think you were buying a ticket for?

Silent and in black and white, the Spanish made Blancanieves is a gorgeous looking and irreverent take on the Snow White fable set in the 1920s and against the backdrop of bullfighting.

The Ghosts in Our Machine Review
Documenting a documentarian is a tricky proposition, but when said craftsman is also an impassioned activist and exceedingly talented artist it becomes even tougher to do justice by the subject. The work done by director Liz Marshall to showcase and contextualize the work done by her friend and fellow photographer Jo-Anne McArthur in her film The Ghosts in Our Machine is nothing short of triumphant.
