2012
Roland Emmerich’s latest is a good fun premise and starts off as an entertaining little disaster movie quickly dives into head scratching plot holes and absurdity that doesn’t make sense at any turn. (Spoilers throughout, sorry they must be discussed) The plot of the film revolves around the supposed end of the world predicted in […]
An Education
An Education is one of those little treasures of a film that sneaks up on you in not only the quality of the overall film but by the incredible turn by its star Carey Mulligan. Jenny is a seventeen year old school girl in 1960’s England and is set on getting into Oxford for seemingly […]

The film is a quick tale over the events of one night of Halloween in a small Midwestern town that embraces the holiday with open […]
Michael Jackson’s This Is It
I’ll be the first to admit I was a bit skeptical about this film. I’m a lifelong Michael Jackson fan. I listened to my tape of ‘Bad’ so much when I was a kid I practically wore it out. Although, I wasn’t a diehard fan, I always had an appreciation for his music. My respect […]
