IR Film Review: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS - HONOR AMONG THIEVES [Paramount]
The context of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" is an ode on loss wrapped in an element of fantasy. The movie is wonderfully cast and has a light tone that is very hard to walk in this type of genre.

The conception of existence and the relevance in reflection of solitude in an interesting conundrum of "Three Thousand Years Of Longing", the latest from director George Miller. His first outing since "Mad Max: Fury Road" and before he started on its prequel "Furiosa" in an interesting mixture of elements.
