Review of California Typewriter (2017)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 20 Sep 2017

Review of Home Again (2017)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 06 Sep 2017

Review of Kidnap (2017)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 02 Aug 2017

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 06 Jun 2017

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 17 May 2017

Review of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 02 May 2017
