‘Hitpig! is neither great nor terrible, and there are enough disparate elements that it could easily have gone fully in either direction. It’s a prime example of the Hollywood tendency to overdevelop and overmilk a simple idea, cramming in an excess of plot rather than just telling a good story,” writes film writer Patrick Gibbs. The film is based on Berkeley Breathed’s children’s book Pete & Pickles. Read the full review here: https://www.slugmag.com/arts/film-arts/film-reviews/review-hitpig/

With Melanie Laurent’s new film, Freedom (or Libre, as it's titled in France), she's taking it to a new level by telling the true story of a famous French bandit. Laurent tells the story of a man who charmed and stole his way through daring heists in the late '70s and early '80s, starting out by robbing grocery stores and working his way up to expensive jewelers, all the while never firing a gun. Watch the montage of increasingly reckless robberies and check out the full article here: https://www.slugmag.com/wp/wp-admin/post.php?post=157845&action=edit
