Film Review – Spiritwalker
A man wakes up from a car crash with no memory of how we got there. He has no recollection of who he is or how he ended up behind the wheel. The only clues he has is a picture of a woman he does…
READ MOREFilm Review – All the Old Knives
There’s an old saying: Never work with your loved ones. Mixing business with pleasure rarely work out – emotions get mixed with duty to the point that distrust and resentment start leaking through the cracks. Now imagine that dynamic steeped in the realm of the…
