Tired Yet? January 30, 2021 Hi ho, all. I checked off another Sundance pro move today: sleep deprivation.

No such luck, but I then allowed myself another hour of sleep. 8:00 AM — THE SUNDANCE DAILIES When … Read More Sundance Diary 2021: Day Three — Tired Yet?

Movie Review: The Words (2012)

by

THE WORDS BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLSEPTEMBER 16, 2012 As much as “The Words” is a rehashing of films and stories that came before it, this literature drama still poses essential and thought-provoking questions about morality.

The film … Read More Movie Review: The Words (2012)
