Johanna Moder’s newest work, the pervasively tense, darkly humorous “Mother’s Baby” is a striking example of control over tone for as long as it lasts.

12 to Midnight features Charles Bronson lookalike Robert Bronzi (Exorcist Vengeance, From Hell to the Wild West) and a title reminiscent of Bronson’s film 10 to Midnight. The movie even starts with Detective Toth (Robert Bronzi) killing a couple of armed robbers who are standing between him and his beer yes, standing in his way,

As a matter of fact, it used to be just about impossible to go through the weekend without laughing at some good-tier comedy that makes its audience cry out at how good the jokes are.

In my mind, science fiction films have always been synonymous with being horrifying, dark, gory, and depressing. However, my perspective was completely overturned with Time Travel is Dangerous. This film, written by British comedy writers Anna-Elizabeth Shakespeare and Hillary Shakespeare, and directed by Chris Reading, offers a time travel concept that is both humorous and

The Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel known for titles such as Snowtown, True History of the Kelly Gang, and Nitram would not take a simple documentary approach for his first film.
