Screener Squad: Burning
The Squad is back and this time they are covering a potential Oscar contender. Burning, South Korea’s submission to the Best Foreign Language category which follows Lee Jong-su (Yoo Ah-in) as he gets romantically involved with an old friend named Shin Hae-mi (Jeon Jong-so). After a trip to Africa, she returns with a new friend she made named Ben (Steven Yeun), who
Highly Suspect Reviews: Time Trap
Sometimes it really is the little indie films out of nowhere that surprise you the most. Take, for example, Time Trap.

Highly Suspect Reviews: The Girl in the Spider’s Web
Director Fede Álvarez sits in the director’s chair for this latest attempt to make that Dragon Tattooed girl Lisbeth Salander as big in America as she is in Sweden. They have strangely decided to skip past the next two books in the original trilogy (and the only ones actually written by the late author Stieg Larsson) to the first of
