Movie reviews and Cinefest showtimes.
Grade: A Verdict: “I Am Not Your Negro” is great. Period. Everything about it is great. See it. Raoul Peck has performed a sizable miracle with “I Am Not Your Negro.” He has managed to […]
It’s that time of year again, folks. It’s the Oscars’ 89th year of in-house ass slapping, so by some mysterious transient property, we must all now reflect on what Hollywood deems the most important movies […]

“La La Land” is proof that youthful ambitions paired with old Hollywood charm and musicality is a match made in heaven. Throughout the film we have characters using iPhones in a setting with people driving […]
