Posted on Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 12:28 am by Danny King in the Videos categoryThe trailer for Michael Knowles’s The Trouble with Bliss, recently debuted over at Apple, is rather stale for my taste, but the indie dramedy has received a handful of festival notations on its path to theatrical distribution and I’m interested … Continue reading

Posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 11:34 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryApple has debuted the trailer for Justin Kurzel’s The Snowtown Murders, which is every bit as promising a directorial debut as last year’s Sean Durkin-helmed Martha Marcy May Marlene.
