Film Review: ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ Starring Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Peña
A Wrinkle in Time is a widely acclaimed 1962 science fiction novel by Madeleine L’Engle. Although I’ve never read it myself, I recognize its title as a literary classic just from its constant presence within schools and literary discussion. I imagine if you’re like me and haven’t read it, you’ve probably, at the very least, […]
Film Review: ’12 Strong’ Starring Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña
I admit it, I’m a sucker for movies based on true events. Sure, there are usually a lot of liberties taken with the truth, with some movies distorting the truth so much they hardly resemble real life, but much of the time, we can at least draw concepts and ideas and appreciate what the characters […]

Movie Review: ‘Turbo’ Starring Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Michael Peña, Samuel L. Jackson
The first thing you connect with garden snails is usually not speed. So when a movie comes out about a snail who dreams of winning the Indianapolis 500 (yes, the human race car version) it’s pretty intriguing. The fine folks at DreamWorks who brought us Shrek, Antz and How to Train Your Dragon continue to […]

Movie Review: ‘Gangster Squad’ Starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn
Zombieland was one of my favorite movies from 2009. It was fresh, fun, and didn’t take itself too seriously. Director Ruben Fleischer wasn’t trying to be 28 Days Later, or Dawn of the Dead, but rather created his own style – the result of which was a clever and extremely entertaining film. With his latest […]
