Film Review: Love Attempts to Infiltrate Horror in 'The Promise'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on April 24, 2017 - 8:24amCHICAGO – So much of civilization’s story is lost in the mist of “winners write the history,” and even as recently as 100 years ago there are instances of world history that is not generally taught. “The Promise” is set during the World War I period, and has a love triangle in the midst of a little known genocide.

Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 8, 2014 - 1:39pmCHICAGO – “The Hundred-Foot Journey” is as manufactured and flavorless as a frostbitten Lean Cuisine.
