THE DRAMA MOVIE REVIEW Don’t let the title fool you, The Drama is a comedy, albeit a very dark, pitch-black comedy; the kind where the laughs offer a welcome and much needed respite from the discomfort you’ll feel as its narrative unfolds.

Movie in 2023. Now, it’s inevitable sequel is here with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Mario (Chris Pratt) and […]

THE GRAY HOUSE SERIES REVIEW Sam Houston once said “Let me tell you what is coming.

MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE MOVIE REVIEW Writer director BenDavid Grabinski steps into the spotlight with the soft sci-fi crime caper Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice. Not to be confused with the 1969 rom-dram Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, Grabinski’s film takes place over the course of one tumultuous […]
