Elsewhere Review: The Lazarus Effect (and bonus drinking game!)
As The Lazarus Effect seems tailor-made for the Netflix/DVD crowd, I figured why not get a jump and start the drinking game now? It’ll be a fun film this Halloween, when it’s on Netflix and you’ve got a bunch of … Continue reading

Elsewhere Review: Mr. Turner

Elsewhere Review: This is Where I Leave You
Nutshell: I’d give This is Where I Leave You at B. The Altman family may be dysfunctional, but the film is a well-oiled machine. Funny, inappropriate as hell, and so much like real life it’s oftentimes uncomfortable. Luckily the cast … Continue reading
