Tribeca Festival / Review : Everyone Will Love “Somewhere in Queens”

Take a seat if you’re not already sitting down. What I’m about to say might shock many of you. I never really cared about Everybody Loves Raymond. I have no personal distaste for the show itself, or Ray Romano…it was just never my kind of thing. Naturally, I have no real connection to Romano or…

Tribeca Festival Review: “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song”

Based on a 2005 Danish film that…

Film Review- Exploring Charted Ground with “Uncharted”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; video games will be the next source to overtake the comic book blockbuster film slate. Adapting video games to the big screen has had its problems.
