The Last House on the Left (2009) – Movie Review

I never did see the original video nasty version of The Last House on the Left from 1972, but I did see some of the others from back in the day, and generally, I wasn’t really impressed by them, so…

Martha Marcy May Marlene – Movie Review

This bleak but compelling drama with Elizabeth Olsen is not exactly a bundle of joy, so don’t watch it if you’re in the mood for a comedy. But it is a high-quality film that is worthy of your time. Olsen’s…
