SILENT LAND is a film about the collapse of a relationship, but more than that it is about the collapse of the value system in the world today, about the indifference to reality and social lethargy.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray Review: It’s 90’s Ethan Hunt!
What’s not to love about the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE series? This is my personal favourite franchise these days as all of the movies are smart, story-driven action pictures made for adults, in a world that seems to be falling to cartoonish superhero titles, sequels and remakes. This has always been a curious series to me as […]
