A History of the World According to Getty Images ★★★ 1/2 Bolton Film Fest

Hollywood Dreams and Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story ★★★★

A wonderful love letter of a documentary to the famed actor Robert Englund, this is a joy from start to finish. A light film that shows he is much more than the famed character he played.

Random Check ★★★★★ HollyShorts 2023

There may not be another film this year that will fill you with as much anger as Monique Sorgen's Random Check. Sara AlRoushoud is magnificent in this horrifyingly depressing but pointed short.
