THE SAPPHIRES Wows Australian Box Office
I don't normally write box office reports, for good reason. Analyzing and comparing numbers for a story that replicates so many other better articles out there is a grueling and unrewarding task. However every so often there is a film that's worth the focus. The Sapphires is one such... More »

Cannes 2012 Review: COSMOPOLIS is an Interesting, Uneven Requiem for the One Percent
