TIFF 2023: Mother, Couch Review
A top-notch cast in fine form can't save the befuddling Mother, Couch, a story that is at once both too literal and too obscure.

Home Entertainment Review: Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa .5
Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa .5 (Jeff Tremaine, 2014) – Part of the bizarre tradition of Jackass feature film releases is that every movie gets a DVD loaded with deleted sequences as well as a second .5 release of additional deleted sequences cut together into a second feature film.

Foxy Wild Things
Seeing as I’ve been in their presence for several years now, it’s still a surprise to me when I meet people who are not familiar with the phenomenon that is the hipster.
