Another low budget sort-of-science-fiction film with a lot of art house appeal. Another Earth is about a woman who is in a car crash and crippled with guilt over her irresponsible actions.

It keeps getting closer and…

As for Plan Nine, well, it was a super low budget movie and well, just silly. But Peter Jackson’s King Kong wins the crown as the Worst Movie Ever because it did cost so much, starred real actors, was directed by someone who should have known better and put…
