Don’t Look Up: To Close for Comfort
Don’t Look Up
The casting of this film is amazing, with several Oscar winners and box office draws. But this isn’t “that” type of science fiction movie. This is not Deep Impact or Armageddon.

Antlers: Hunger of the Wendigo
Antlers
…the film is also overwhelmingly depressing. A film needs a balance of highs and lows, comedy and drama, light and dark. This movie is all lows, drama and dark.
