Movie Review: ‘The Way Way Back’ Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell, Liam James

Posted: July 22, 2013 at 10:54 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

The Way Way Back is the definition of a summer movie. The film was great in its execution and shared quite a few similarities to a film that came out not long ago, Kings of Summer. The film focuses on the very fragile and socially complex world of being a young teenager living amidst the […]
