Middle of the Row – The Podcast: 067 – We Take In The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Film Review: Silence

Silence sees Martin Scorsese wrestling with faith, what it means to have it, how it affects those around us, how it can feel like it has betrayed you, and the results are compelling and thought provoking.

HST 2014 in Review: Movies

A week or two has passed now since most sites have posted their end of the year write-ups, and I still find myself debating what to put on my movie list. After much self degradation I have finally come to terms with the fact that my list will be nothing like that of the Oscar’s […]
