One Mann's Movies Film Review: The Snowman (2017).
“We’re trudging through the slush”. Unlike its animated namesake, “The Snowman” is not a good film. Frustratingly it has all the right ingredients: A story by bestselling Nordic writer Jo…
One Mann's Movies Film Review: The Death of Stalin (2017).
Death…. Torture…. Child Abuse…. LOL?? Armando Iannucci is most familiar to TV audiences on both sides of the pond for his cutting political satire of the likes of “Veep” and…
