Lion: Intense & Compelling – There Was Not a Dry Eye in The Theater [Review]
This week I saw Lion with a friend who recommended it. I’d never heard of Lion, didn’t know what to expect and this was the director, Garth Davis’s ‘feature debut’ (he hadn’t made anything else that I could compare to) so I really had nothing to go on. The trailer...

The Great Wall: Clunky but Original & Refreshing with a Subtle Max Brooks Influence [Review]
