An Amazon Studios Picture, Written and Directed By Veena Sud. ‘The Lie’ is one of the opening parts of Amazon’s hotly anticipated ‘Welcome to Blumhouse’ collection of films that launched on the streaming service this October.

The Dark End of the Street (2020) – Review
A Transmission Films Picture, Written and Directed By Kevin Tran. This film from writer/director Kevin Tran is both incredibly low-key and also very ambitious at the same time. It may have been marketed as a horror/thriller but it is closer to a character drama with thriller elements thrown in. Instead of featuring jump scares and […]

72nd Emmy Awards – Winners
This years Emmy Awards was always going to be very different, as it was delayed and then done virtually due to the Corona Virus pandemic.
