Mg reviews Wendy and Lucy

Premiering one week shy of exactly a year from the day Heath Leger died is a new film by Michelle Williams that eerily mirrors the turns her personal life took in 2008. Wendy and Lucy is a film of a young woman’s bravery and self-sufficiency in the face of extrem …

Mg reviews Miss March

I thought I’d give the movie a couple days at the box office before I let the world know what I thought about it. But now that they’ve raked in some dough, it’s time to get down to the nasty truth… Miss March is just another teen sex movie. Havi …

Defiance

As some of you may know, I’ve been a videogame critic for a few years now.  Videogames and film are definitely two different beasts, but they do share one thing in common: producers of both love World War II.  So much so that I hear complaints every year about &# …

Your opinion counts!

Hello filmies!  We’re rolling into the final week of beta testing for PTD Film, and I would love to hear your thoughts on what we should include in the official roll-out.  I believe (don’t quote me on this) that we’ve whipped all the bugs in our cu …

What’s on tonight: Wednesday, Jan. 21st.

We’re half-way through the work week people, and I’ve got a couple flicks for your to catch tonight.  As it’s Wednesday night the choice is not stellar, but we’ve got a few to get you through to Thursday.  Here’s the list of films sh …
