Downton Abbey: A New Era Is A New Era, Indeed

Downton Abbey: A New Era takes audiences to a new era as the adventure continues following six seasons and a movie.

Mank: A Look Back At Classic Hollywood

Mank, directed by David Fincher, takes a look back at 1930s Hollywood through the eyes of Oscar-winning screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz. If there is one thing that Mank gets right, it’s Herman J.

Toronto 2019: Clifton Hill

Clifton Hill is a psychological thriller that strangely enough also serves as a love letter of sorts to the city of Niagara Falls (Canada). Memory can be an interesting thing.  When Abby (Tuppence Middleton) returns to Niagara Falls after her mother’s death, it leads to some stressful relations with sister Laure (Hannah Gross).  It’s already bad enough that their mom’s hotel, The Rainbow Inn, is likely to be closed.  Neither Abby nor her sister, Laure…
