Aftershock Treatment: An In-Depth Look at the Latest Project from Hostel Director Eli Roth
As a writer and/or director and/or producer and/or actor, Eli Roth is not subtle.

The Call – Review
I think it would be a safe bet to say that there are a bunch of insomniacs wandering around thanks to The Call. It is an exhilarating thrill ride which takes you to places you beg not to go. Audiences all over the world are shutting their windows, locking their doors, and leaving the lights [...]

Review of GIRLS (HBO) : Season 2
I have tried really hard to like season 2 of Girls. And for the most part I do. But it is the fashion in which the latter part of the season has unfurled that really has me worrying for the future of the show. And yes, I do worry about the future of shows, because [...]
