As always, click on the link for the original piece! TwitView: Unfriended Found-footage goes social media, with remarkably spooky results.  Though there’s really no build-up of the Big Haunting Bad beyond “she’s dead”, Unfriended lets you feed your voyeuristic tendencies … Continue reading →

Elsewhere Review: Whiplash

Posted on November 6, 2014 by Denise

Nutshell: I’d give Whiplash an A-. Emotionally difficult to watch at times, but worth it. This film grabs you by your collar and drags you into it’s world headfirst, no quarter given. Simmons and Teller give Master Class performances, and … Continue reading →
