Review by: Stacey

I'm not going to lie, I kind of LOVE the Twilight movies.  Hey, at the end of the day I'm still a woman, I like chick stuff.  That said, despite my love for the "young adult" vampire tales, I neeeever could find an ounce of enjoyment for Kristen Stewart (or K Stew if you're E! News).  She always seemed so flat and emotionless, and I know I'm not the only one with that thinking because that kind of became this long-running joke about her.  Which is unfortunate now after having seen Olivier Assayas's  psychological thriller, Personal Shopper.  I don't know if this is the best work she's done (I tended to avoid her projects), but from what I've seen, this is the best work she's done.

Review by: Stacey

Wow, you guys.  Just WOW.

What a better way to celebrate International Women's Day than to bring you this review for the female written/directed French-Belgian film, Raw.  Julia Ducournau's feature film takes us along on a coming-of-age tale that combines a teen's budding sexuality and cannibalism in a weird and violent way.

After hearing buzz about the movie from several people who had screened it already, I knew (hoped) I wasn't going to be disappointed.
