An older bespectacled gentleman surrounded in warm light looks over a large book of text.

It’s a well-acted film that tells a worthy story about courage in face of evil. It’s unfortunate their own protagonist and the filmmakers play things safely. … read more

Film Review: Damsel

Posted on March 13, 2024 (March 12, 2024) by interncalendar
Millie Bobby Brown stands near a hanging lightbulb in a dimly-lit room.

While Damsel isn’t terrible, it’s humorless, bland and too hokey to pull off the deadly serious tone that the filmmakers have chosen. … read more

Local Review: Minute After 8 – Right on Time

Posted on March 13, 2024 (October 9, 2024) by Asha Pruitt

Dreamy is the name for this album, though don’t mistake that for subdued. Each lyricist brings his A-game, but the surrounding tracks feel cozy and smooth. … read more
