Dark Places (2015)

Reviews Done Quick Dark Places lives up to its name and is a dark film. The light, sets, and plot are all dark and eerie. However, and perhaps because of this, I found it difficult to keep my attention. The flashbacks to 1985, the time of the murders, were a little too haphazard and sloppy. […]

Legally Blonde is clever and while always a romantic comedy, at the heart of the film is […]

I went with my parents and two friends, we all had trouble remembering the name of the film we were about to see (never a good sign) and […]
