The Full Story, behind the reviews....

Welcome to the hub. Ben Sorensen's spoiler free, eclectic, quick read, reviews - without the excess noise.

I feel like that wasn't what you were expecting from the "Full Story" heading, but, like the reviews, I'm not going to hard sell you on anything.

If it makes you feel any better, Ben has had a life long love of film that started a bit after the Anglos met the Saxons and around when film was actually film which oddly wasn't that long ago. I digress.

NEW? Start Here...

Scroll through the films below, read the super short blub if you're in a rush, or click to read the full review and watch the trailer if you aren't.

Reviews below are in a roughly chronological order based on when Ben attended the premiere.
