So we will be relishing this review as we break down what works and what doesn't in a film that at the time was controversial.

Couple with the choice for Director in Tim...

This week we are back with a two part review and interview of the new indie drama, Luke & Jo. The film explores the existential crisis that occurs when two struggling creative people, seemingly made for each other, meet at the wrong times in their lives and are fundamentally changed. Directed by Joshua Overbay and starring Andie Morgenlander and Erik Odom, the film features haunting cinematography with stand out performances and an unexpected ending that runs counter to films in this genre.

This week we are digging for buried treasure in our cat liter box and taking a look at the dried up turd that was 2004's Catwoman. A movie that is a far cry from the massive world building superhero behemoths that we have today. Just one year before Batman Begins, Catwoman unleashed a hailstorm of terrible acting, terrible CGI, terrible story, and an example of one of the worst edited films ever made. So join us as we break down the "cat-astrophy" known as Catwoman. Use the coupon code...

A movie that some may view as exploitative and...
