by

The fast-paced comedy stars Auðunn Blöndal as your usual maverick, hard-drinking, no-nonsense, brutal cop in a tight white vest… but he has a secret: he has a crush on hunky fellow policeman Hörđur (Egill Einarsson). I’m a big fan of workplace crushes, but in this case it distracts him from his job tracking down a… Cop Secret clip & trailer: don’t Messi with Icelandic super cop Bussi Read More

by

“From dad bod to god bod.” The new trailer just dropped from Mount Olympus itself, so I think we can blame Zeus, played by Russell Crowe (and thank you Zeus for that One Perfect Shot).

Trailer for The Ravine: a horrific family murder leaves a community questioning itself

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.
