Out in Theaters: DALLAS BUYERS CLUB

Out in Theaters: DALLAS BUYERS CLUB

For the swing-for-the-fences success, major credit is due to the editing department under Vallée and Martin Pensa's guidance, making the most difficult calls of all - not overstaying. Debunking the belief that…

Weekly Review 29: THE CROW, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2, GOMORRAH, THE MIST

After a full week at the theater that resulted in reviews for Wadjda, Carrie, All is Lost, Kill Your Darlings, and The Fifth Estate, I took to catching up with some Halloween-themed movies at home. After taking the next step into the Paranormal franchise, I delved into Alex Proyas‘ The Crow, the Italian mob movie...
