Review – Detroit (2017)
kathryn bigelow
I wasn’t initially going to review Detroit for many reasons that I’ll get into in a moment, but I’ve been thinking about it all day, and I found myself getting angrier while wondering why no-one else has picked up on the stupidity in this film. Maybe it is just me, maybe I am focusing too much on such a minor part of the film, but it’s a minor part that sets off the entire second act. And the fact that the film refuses to even acknowledge it is why it pisses me off.

Union Furnace tells the story of Cody, a small-town criminal, played by Mike Dwyer, with little going for him. After crashing a stolen car, the mysterious Lion, played by the brilliantly sadistically Seth Hammond, offers Cody the chance for financial security and a way out of their small Ohio town. The only condition is that Cody must win an 8 round life or death competition against other town misfits. Only by avoiding death can he begin living.

Classic Review – Election (1999)
by Kevin Muller
This isn’t a review, but a look at why this specific film is one of my favorite of all time. Want an extremely short review? “Election” is a masterpiece in film making that has beautifully subtle direction, a flawless script, incredible performances, and is funny as hell.
Here, I am going to talk about why this movie can be used as a metaphor for most elections that happen every four years in this country. The film maybe about a high school election but many of the antics can be applied to the event that defines our Democracy. Please enjoy….

Review – The Dark Tower
by Kevin Muller
“The Dark Tower” is an epic that can be best described as an unforgettable experience. The themes, plot, characters, and scope of the story is unmatched. It is something that should be sought out by anyone who wants to partake in something that will stand the test of time. Well, that is what I have heard about the novel. My admiration for Stephen King stands with “IT”, which will have its own movie out next month. I walked into “The Dark Tower” only knowing the basic knowledge of the source material so I strictly judged it as a film. Even then, I saw a movie is a broken, incomplete, and a lazy affair that definitely fails the source material.
