You know Doc, it’s easy to shred a bad movie… especially online. Plenty of cyber critics tear into pictures they deem lousy with the ferocity of a lynch mob and it’s really unfair. Movies are difficult to make and they (typically) require the passions of a collective group willing to dedicate weeks, months and even […]

Savages, Welcome to Drug Wars (Film Review)
July 5th, 2012 John Delia If you are looking for gut wrenching excitement in a movie with a brilliant cast and a creative storyline then choose Savages, this year’s most powerful action filled drama to date.
