AFCC member Matt Rodriguez reviews #TronAres which he says "while the film is stunningly gorgeous with bright and bombastic visuals paired with a killer soundtrack from Nine Inch Nails, its story and characters leave much to be desired." shakefire.net/6328/tron-ar... #AFCC #MovieReview

AFCC member Sammie Purcell reviews #KissOfTheSpiderWoman which she says "uses the magic of the movie musical to find deeper truth." roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/10/10/k... #AFCC #MovieReview
