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.

SXSW Film Review: Join or Die

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

SXSW Film Review: Air

I don't care about Michael Jordan. But then, I don't care about David Justice or Buck Weaver and that doesn't stop Moneyball and Eight Men Out from being on my list of all-time favorite sports movies.
