[Rating: Swiss Fist] In Theaters and On Digital January 30 Compressing 14 years of litigious, bureaucratic, deeply personal history into a 131-minute movie was never going to be easy, and the people behind Pike River should be commended for their attempt at just that.

[Rating: Minor Rock Fist Up] In Theaters Friday, January 2 An exploration of grief, loss, and regret wrapped inside of a zombie movie, We Bury the Dead isn’t a bait and switch so much as a catch and question.
