Most Powerful Scene From The Crucible Film

I recently said that The Crucible film had me in tears. The build up is really not here, and I can’t simply post the whole movie for you guys to watch, but here is the point where I simply just lost it. Not because the film itself, but moreover because I lost myself into a [...]

The Promotion Review

The Promotion looked to be the funniest movie coming out of the film festival circuit, and from the looks of the trailer it sure did.
