Film Review: Biosphere
★★★★★ (Written by Intern, Wyatt Frantz) Survival films have been subject to predictability for as long as I can remember, to the point of routine rinse and repeat.

Series Review: VC Andrews’ Dawn
Leave it to VC Andrews to mix in coming-of-age and some kind of warped incest angle with her wildly unpredictable Cutler Saga.

Film Review: Maximum Truth
★★ A satirical political mockumentary should be an easy home-run, especially from comedy maven Ike Barinholtz and hottie co-star Dylan O’Brien. Maximum Truth confuses everything that works in these types of offbeat comedies, stumbling its way from one mishandled scenario to the next. I kept waiting for the comedy to finally hit the right notes. … Continue reading Film Review: Maximum Truth
Film Review: Prisoner’s Daughter
