Tis the season and also time for Steve to finally see a holiday classic. This one is for the people that enjoy snow the most when its dark, and sprinkled in blood. Fun Fact: Steve literally bought this for a dollar from his library.

Dollar Reviews 001: A New Beginning
The first episode in our revamped titular show where we review Brooklyn, Age of Adaline, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Bone Tomahawk, Krampus, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, Chi-Raq, and Spotlight.
Debt to Cinema 011: The Secret in Their Eyes
With the Americanized remake in theaters and Oscar season in full swing, I thought it would be the perfect time to finally finish watching the best movie I’ve never seen in its entirety. Beware: this episode is more spoiler heavy than usual.
Two Cents 023: Dollars Makes Sense
The episode in which we announce the reviews section of Two Cents is becoming the new Dollar Reviews, Amazon is rumored to offer premium content through Instant Video, Yoga Hosers is playing Sundance, Gods of Egypt’s lack of diversity, J-Law wanting to be a director, and Netflix’s next theatrical releases. Plus, reviews for Cop Car, The Guest, The Night Before, Hot Tub Time Machine 2, The Good Dinosaur, Creed, Tom Sawyer, The Dirty Dozen, Tangerine, Bound, True Story, Turbo Kid, and Spike Lee’s Oldboy.
Debt to Cinema 010: THX 1138
With less than a month remaining until the continuation of George Lucas’s Star Wars Saga, Steve thought it would be fitting to review the filmmaker’s directing debut. Get ready for something on the stranger side of science fiction.
Two Cents 022: Common Creativity
The episode in which we publish under Creative Commons, talk about Vin Diesel’s expanding movie universes, Memento getting a remake, Figment VR, Robert Rodriguez’s film that won’t be seen until 2115, Edgar Wright trying his hand at animation, Hasbro putting My Little Pony on the big screen, Joaquin Phoenix + Casey Affleck, Top Gun 2, Max Landis getting a show on Syfy, and Amazon’s improved screenwriting tools. Plus, reviews for Edward Scissorhands, Iron Man, King Kong, Gravity, The Killing, Monster’s University, Monster’s Inc., The Little Prince, Winnebago Man, Stories We Tell, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, and Man in the High Castle.
Debt to Cinema 009: Kingpin
Towards the end of last week’s Amish infused selection, Steve let it be known that he’d never seen the other filmic example of their lifestyle, so I felt a debt needed to be satisfied. Get ready for our first trashy pick of this show, if only Steve was prepared.
Debt to Cinema 008: Witness
This week we watched the critical darling of 1985 that really launched Harrison Ford’s career. One liners, chin beards, cute kittens – this fish out of water film basically has it all. I was trying to come up with a blurb as corny as Steve’s intro, but maize-be thats not possible.
Two Cents 020: When Duty Calls
The episode in which we talk about #ForceForDaniel, Jon Stewart coming to HBO, the streaming only Star Trek series, Activision creating a film division, Sony making another Steig Larson movie, Duncan Jones’s Warcraft and Mute, Key and Peele voicing a stop motion flick, Shane Carruth’s next project’s crazy, good cast, and the Luther TV movie. Plus, reviews for Spectre, The Peanuts Movie, Man From Reno, Irreversible, and Netflix’s Master of None.
Debt to Cinema 007: Following
The first selection in my self proclaimed, soft reboot of the show is something I’ve been meaning to watch for 4.5 years. You know when Criterion releases a flick there is something special about it, and this neo noir is no exception. Don’t let this one sit on the shelf like me, digital or otherwise #IdBuyThatForADollar …again
