A guy walks into a car and makes the driver admit his faults. There’s a certain vibe inside “Sympathy for the Devil,” which works as a midnight film, especially with its two […]
Sympathy for the Devil
Cobweb
A kid deals with awful parents, a hidden sibling, and a cliched script. “Cobweb” is a horror film that represents evil in characters, but its script is too cliched for its own […]
Insidious: The Red Door

This sequel cuts back a little on the gore and more on the attitude and humor. Becky (Lulu Wilson) has to arrive with a smile and her dog Diego to her new […]
Sanctuary
A toxic relationship like no other. “Sanctuary” is a movie that had me thinking long after it was over. I wasn’t sure what the dominatrix wanted or why she was torturing her […]
