Brittany Runs a Marathon Movie Review

The film is based on the actual experiences of writer/director Paul Downs Colaizzo’s roommate, Brittany O’Neill, who ran the New York Marathon in 2014.

It also doesn’t limit the throwing of shade just on male recipients.   //   With a story that is equal parts touching and humorous, Bell brings a surprising level of complexity to ...

Judy Movie Review

Signed to MGM Studios at a very young age, her life was almost completely controlled by its studio head, Louis B. Mayer. Never considered an out right beauty of the caliber of Liz Taylor or Ava Gardner, she was made to feel second class and was never allowed a childhood. Labour laws of the time for children actors in Hollywood were almost non-existent. They also gave her regular quantities of amphetamines to keep her thin and working. This helped to create addictions that lasted her entire ...

Chained For Life Movie Review

Its comments on how society treats human beauty and those that don’t conform to our rigid expectations is one of the film’s more direct elements. Other than that you are left with a more than an unusual ride. Looking all the world like a lower budget enterprise suits its surreal approach.   //   Even after giving it a good slosh around the brain, it keeps transforming itself in ones mind. As a starter of that good old fashion post film festival dialogue, it is top ...
