Brown Sugar
Brown Sugar is a beautifully rendered ode to hip hop and the joy that was had back in the day of innocence, expression and art.

Wasabi
Wasabi is an action filled film that we have seen before but has some comedy and some heartfelt scenes to appreciate Reno as the cop of the new century.

Reviewed by Wilson Morales

Written in the vain of such psychological thrillers as The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Twilight Zone, Crazy as Hell will have your mind racing in a million different directions and still manage to surprise you at the end.
