S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘The Wrestler’

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘The Objective’

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Chasing Birds’

I enjoyed watching this film, but I probably giving it a better rating than it truly deserves. At a convieniently short 54 minutes in length, ‘Chasing Birds’ feels a little more like reality TV than …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Remarkable Power!’

Jeremy:
‘Remarkable Power’ is the kind of comedy that you expect to find on a video store shelf with the words “National Lampoon Presents” in front of the title. It’s rarely funny, it feels like …

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Carny’

S.L.I.F.F. Review: ‘Half-Life’

Travis:
‘Half-Life’ is a movie that deceives the viewer o the surface, teasing us with its animated scenes and it’s near-future global warming gone wild storyline. The truth is that these two elements, while interesting, play …
