SXSW Film Review: Monolith

It's easy to scare audiences with blood or shocks. But Australian horror Monolith seduces the audience to walk what seems to be the harder path of unsettling unease - a path that soon becomes a slippery slope into heartstopping fear.

In Search of The Lost King

When King Richard III of England was killed at the battle of Bosworth Field, he was charging at full speed on horseback towards the banner of the rebellious Henry Tudor. Reports from the time say that he was within a sword's length of the usurper. Now, does that sound like a cowardly wretch barely capable of unaided movement?

Why has American society become so fractured, so divisive? Why are loneliness, fear, and suspicion such prevalent states of our collective mind?

SXSW TV Recap: Rabbit Hole

“Thriller” and "Kiefer Sutherland." Two great tastes that go great together.

SXSW Film Review: Joy Ride

Adele Lim’s Joy Ride is a bawdy comedy in the vein of Girls Trip and The Hangover films. What sets it apart from these movies is its creative team and cast of Asian American women.
