Sonic The Hedgehog 2 ending: all’s well that ends well

by

…as playwright and Sonic the Hedgehog fan William Shakespeare said*, though there’s a little sting in the tail in that mid-credits scene. (This is, of course, very spoilery — if you’re after my review it’s here.) The ending Well, it’s really the final third. In the snowy mountains of Siberia, Sonic and Tails follow Longclaw’s… Sonic The Hedgehog 2 ending: all’s well that ends well Read More

Pursuit Of A Jigsaw (short film) Short Film 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

by

A terrifying social satire that delves into the current state of America, the human psyche and relationships. Ahh, marriage. The joyous melding of two lives. It sounds lovely, but judging by Sam Mizrahi-Powell’s short-but-effective horror film Pursuit Of The Jigsaw would look extremely disturbing, if we saw the physical reality. Mizrahi-Powell calls his award winning… Pursuit Of A Jigsaw (short film) Read More

by

The Ravine is based on the book of the same name by Kelly Pascuzzi and Robert Pascuzzi, who co-wrote the film with director Keoni Waxman (The Hard Way). I haven’t read the book, though it sounds likes it’s a mix of true crime, religion and spirituality.
