Believe Me Review

Believe Me is a faith based comedy that succeeds primarily because of all the confidence it has in itself.

22 Jump Street Review

It’s still hilarious, possibly even more so than its predecessor through sheer volume of jokes alone, but 22 Jump Street manages to be rushed, over thought, and even kind of smug via a brand of meta humor that makes its tone almost inscrutable.

Smashed Review

It might not be the most original addiction narrative ever created, but James Ponsoldt's Smashed succeeds thanks to some painful moments of intimacy, dark humour, and excellent performances.

Casa de mi Padre Review
