Producer-director Matt Osterman ("400 Days" 2016) put together a loser of a film called "Bitcon." It is the story of a missing hard drive loaded with hundreds of thousands of dollars of cryptocurrency, with numerous people on a search for it. The lackluster screenplay by Osterman [..]

Producer-director Olivia Wilde has created a psychological thriller drama film that she also stars in called "Don't Worry Darling." This story about a seemingly perfect couple living in a company town has striking similarities to "The Stepford Wives" (1975) and "Westworld" (1973). Sloppy direction by Wilde [..]

Director Guillermo del Toro ("The Shape of Water" 2017) made an exciting motion picture with little down time, a fast-moving two-and-a-half hour movie. He also co-wrote the screenplay with Kim [..]

Tyrone Power plays a roustabout who lands a job in a carnival, only to get involved in all sorts of problems with the eccentric people working there. This riveting film noir was well directed by Edmond Goulding ("Of Human Bondage" 1944), keeping everything running smoothly like a [..]
