    Woody Allen comedy that is more about sex than fame.
  • Dark Blood (2012)
    Review preview for Dark Blood

    Dark Blood is an offbeat film no one would call formally perfect, yet the depths it gutsily goes for and its strange vein of comedy make it one to think about and enjoy

  • The Man Who Sued God (2001)

  • Nitram (2021)
    Review preview for Nitram

    Jones has been turning in consistently good work for years now and it’s high time he had a role like this. The art of it lies in how he keeps us alert to his character’s dangerous potential without ever letting us lose sight of his humanity.
