A sharp way for Cronenberg to examine the dead. David Cronenberg is a brilliant, bizarre, and absorbing filmmaker, who is able to take certain audiences in his own visionary world. And by […]
The Shrouds
Havoc
Too much carnage can’t deliver here. “Havoc” is the new made-for-Netflix action thriller made by Gareth Evans, the same man who gave us the “Raid” movies. Those films were fun in the […]

A nice gay romance between Dopinder and Kristoff. In recent memory, we have gotten some delightful gay romcoms like “Bros” and “Red, White & Royal Blue,” and “A Nice Indian Boy” is […]
