Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave is an astonishing film that will leave you in awe of both its craft and storytelling.

Looking Ahead To 2013: Quarter 4 (October – December)

With the end of the year heading this way, there’s only so much time to cram in all forms of entertainment from this year before it’s too late (if you’re writing an end of post, that is). With that said, there are still plenty of new releases heading this way competing for your attention.
