By the end of Alejandro Brugués’ foreign film Juan of the Dead, you’ll be chanting the film’s title over and over. For the past ten years or so, the zombie genre has become a [...]
Read MoreFilm Review: ‘Tchoupitoulas’
Tchoupitoulas (pronounced CHOP-it-TOO-luhs) is simply brilliant storytelling. It’s something I have not seen done before and it came across vibrantly original [...]
Read MoreFilm Review: ‘Compliance’

Ryan O’Nan’s debut film is a mature, coming- of-age story that brings two lost souls together for a bizarre musical journey across the United States in a beat up old car. The characters sport enough wit [...]
