Shepherd movie review: gothic shaggy dog
Elegantly gloomy but ultimately unsatisfying gothic rural horror that is all too-static mood. Tom Hughes makes a valiant go of a descent into madness, but the character is little more than his misery.
Dante
Inferno movie review: let’s run through the museum!
Completely absurd, ultimately pointless, but also gloriously goofy: a Nancy Drew mystery with Scooby-Doo overtones and a thin veneer of bookishness.
question of the day: What is the most inappropriate setting and/or story for a romantic comedy you can think of?
You can use existing source material or invent your own scenario. And don’t forget to tell us who’ll be starring!
