SEE FOR ME Movie Review

SEE FOR ME (R) Released by IFC Midnight Review by Dan Bringhurst SEE FOR ME is a fun enough little film from director Randall Okita, small in its scope, but occasionally bigger in its ambitions. Filmed and staged in a secluded mansion in New York.

KINDERGARTEN COP 2 Movie Review

KINDERGARTEN COP 2 (PG-13)

Released by Universal Home Entertainment Reviewed by Dan Bringhurst

KINDERGARTEN COP 2…Let me begin by saying that I went into this movie with an almost astonishingly low level of expectations, considering the obvious and decidedly bad material that looked to be on display. As a fan of the original film, however – and a fan of Ahnold specifically (no, he doesn’t make…
