Heart Eyes
‘Heart Eyes’ is eardrum-scorchingly foul, and its flesh-hacking is gruesome and brutal (even when it’s trying to elicit a smile).

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
While not without some content issues, this film set in the 1930s American South tells a powerful story of faith, failings and the redemptive power of God.
Love Hurts
‘Love Hurts’ is a curious sort of a Valentine’s Day movie—a movie with a little heart and a whole lot of blood.
