BROKEN CITY Blu-ray Review
I am typically a sucker for thrillers, especially ones that have a major plot twist that you don’t see coming. These types of films typically have some fantastic characters and a nice mix of suspenseful action thrown in for good measure. Broken City fails to deliver on all points.

RUN & JUMP – TFF 2013 Movie Review
RUN & JUMP strikes a delightful balance of drama, comedy, and romance. In its more dramatic moments, the film profoundly explores the delicate balance of family dynamics and pays homage to the reality that brain trauma does not only affect the person who suffers it. With its laugh-out-loud-funny dialogue, RUN & JUMP also entertains.
