Jun 11, 2016Comic-Book Superheroes

Rating: ★★★
Nov 9, 2018Frankenstein’s Author Biopic
Biopic of Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein. This is a women-written and directed work so the film places an interesting feminist slant on her story meaning that she wrote the book less to address themes about science and hubris than because she was in an unhappy marriage

Oct 18, 2025Paranormal Investigators/“True Story”
