Review: 'God Bless America' Looks Incendiary, But Is Actually A Self-Congratulatory One-Note Screed
Former shrill-voiced comedian turned acidic writer/director/satirist Bobcat Goldthwait may just be one of the most simultaneously electric and frustrating indie filmmakers working today. When it comes to deliciously wicked and acerbic premises, there might not be a better conceptualist. A devilishly...
