Is there a better way to get into the Halloween spirit than by kicking back and throwing on the most rewatchable comedy of the last decade? NATHAN FOR YOU may not be known for thrills and chills, but two half-episodes fit the season perfectly: S1E5, HAUNTED HOUSE, and S2E1, REALTOR. As I’ve said before (especially in my reviews of THE REHEARSAL), my favorite NATHAN FOR YOU installments start with a genuinely clever idea that spirals wildly out of control. In…

When I was a theatre teacher, I could not wait to direct one of my all-time favorite psychological horror plays that featured an eight-year-old as the killer.

The result is a story that captures an enormous amount of emotion, empathy, and realism – while also being incredibly entertaining. I love a slice-of-life slow-burn,…

TIME TRAVEL IS DANGEROUS is a lo-fi sci-fi comedy that proves that a great cast, a unique story, and excellent writing can boost a story to out-of-this-world heights. The film follows two bumbling yet loveable thrift store owners, Megan (Megan Stevenson) and Ruth (Ruth Syratt), after they stumble upon a time machine in a back alley hunting for wares for their store. This movie was anything but predictable – even the seemingly leading title doesn’t let on the absurd twists…
