The following is a quick review of Clinical – Directed by Alistair Legrand
Clinical, a Netflix original film, is a psychological thriller that takes a little while to grab you, but keeps you somewhat entertained until the third act, which I didn’t really like for reasons I’ll get into later. It stars Vinessa Shaw as Dr. Jane Mathis, a psychiatrist, who is trying to put her life back together after one of her patients attacked her. Continue reading “REVIEW: Clinical (2017)”

The following is a review of Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds – Directed by Alexis Bloom & Fisher Stevens.
At the time of writing, it’s been just a week since the world lost two film icons – Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds. Now, HBO decided to release this documentary two months earlier than they had originally planned, and I’m sure a lot of people will think that HBO is just trying to capitalize on the situation.
That may, indeed, be what they wanted to do, but I’m not sure that’s really all that important to discuss. I think a lot of people needed this documentary right now – I really did – to spend 90 minutes longer with icons and role models we were all devastated to lose.

The following is a review of Gods of Egypt – Directed by Alex Proyas.
I’ve been a fan of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ever since I first saw him in Ole Bornedal’s Nattevagten (not to be confused with the American remake, Nightwatch). I was really happy to see him get a big role in HBO’s Game of Thrones, and I’ve loved him as Jaime Lannister. It’s a great character for an actor I enjoy watching. For a little while now, I’ve wanted him to get a big role in a movie with a huge production budget… This isn’t what I had in mind. Continue reading “REVIEW: Gods of Egypt (2016)”
