Still, the film’s […]
Bursting onto the scene in 2000, after spending years as a radio DJ, Alejandro G.

Coco is a fantastic return to form. […]

Rosewater is the film based on “Then They Came for Me” by Maziar Bahari, a journalist who was imprisoned for a lengthy period, following, among other things, an interview with a correspondent from The Daily Show.

Here’s one that I was a big fan of and wish had a bigger run with audiences: A journalist in Iran endures an unthinkable ordeal when he is falsely accused of spying in Rosewater, a political thriller coming to Digital HD, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on February 10, 2015, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
