A survival horror/thriller with arthouse pretensions, The Grey marks writer-director Joe Carnahan’s (Smokin’ Aces, Narc) return to smaller-budgeted, lean, economical filmmaking after a semi-disastrous foray into big-budget, tentpole filmmaking (The A-Team).
Movie Review: Albert Nobbs
An underwhelming, gender-switch period drama made watchable by a talented cast.
