Hysteria
Film Review: Hysteria

Gimmicky but handsome period rom-com about the hysteria caused in Victorian London with the introduction of the electrical vibrator amounts to a superficial cinematic massage with Wilde and Shaw frissons. More »

Mansome
Film Review: Mansome

Morgan Spurlock can walk the line between “lovin’ it” and semi-serious satire like nobody else, and he performs that toe-dance once again in Mansome, a documentary on the topic of male grooming. It’s a cute enough, au courant idea, though the Spurlock matrix of interviews plus graphics is wearing a little thin, the probes less probing. More »
