How this gay Marine survives training is more exhilarating than its short time length. “The Inspection” is based on the true story about how writer/director Elegance Bratton was kicked out of his […]
The Inspection
Bones and All
Luca Guadagnino’s cannibal love story bites to the bone. I’ve never seen a trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones and All,” as a mechanism my late grandfather did, and I was trying to […]

Raymond & Ray
Half-brother story is strong in emotions, but weak in execution. In “Raymond & Ray,” Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke play half-brothers, who reunite for the funeral of their abusive father, whose dying […]
