Review – A Score to Settle

★★★☆☆ Nicolas Cage has had a string of “art for the sake of art” movies lately. Sadly, most of them just don’t work. This one came really close. I think what made it work less was the overview the studio sent out to draw in viewers. Diagnosed with a fatal…

Review – The Craft: Legacy

★★★★☆ The Craft: Legacy – A sequel that definitely doesn’t suck! Whenever a sequel comes out I’m always worried. If the original was ground-breaking or something you gave five stars to, how do they follow that? Usually the studio races to put out a sequel the following year, the writers…
