Blu-ray Review – Man on the Moon
Milos Forman’s 1999 biopic, Man on the Moon, has finally been given a much deserved Blu-ray release by Kino-Lorber. 1999 was an excellent year for film.

Movie Review: The Strings
When I saw that The Strings was produced by the same beautiful soul that brought us the two masterpieces, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House and The Blackcoat’s Daughter, it immediately jumped to the top of my queue. I was not disappointed in the slightest. This is the kind of EXTREMELY […]

Blu-ray Review: Test Pattern
An interracial couple face challenges after a woman is drugged and raped at a club in this searing drama, presented on Blu-ray by Kino and directed by Shatara Michelle Ford. Test Pattern is one of the most uncomfortable and honest film experiences in a long time, not just because what it’s about, but precisely “how” […]
