Mira Nair’s latest is a dull, bland, and almost completely forgettable effort that while capturing the look, sound, and stories of Amelia Earhart it fails to create any drama, tension, or just about any emotion inside of us over it’s run time. Spoilers ahead if you some how have know grasp on history. Picking up […]

Now he has just begun filming his sophmore effort, The American, with George Clooney and you can pretty much pencil this in as one […]
Released under the radar and still no more than a cult following today, David Wain’s feature debut is a silly, absurd, insane, and bizarre film that pokes fun at cliché through the world of a Jewish summer camp that is about to end it’s summer run and the results are hilarious. It is the last […]
Just got done watching the series premiere of ABC’s new mockumentary family comedy and I was very impressed.
