Rosewater is earnestly engaging and profound
Rosewater is among the rare films that leave you feeling both uplifted and devastatingly heartbroken. The truth of the story is unavoidable, you could not hide from the truth this film holds to the light even if you wanted to. It is a film that can drive change by changing the minds of a susceptible […]
Big Hero 6 is an exciting blend of elements for all ages.
Big Hero 6 is a beautiful blending of genera, tones, and cultures in a package that is wildly entertaining. Sure to be a staggering success for Disney and Marvel this film will draw children in droves, and parents are sure to follow along, quite gladly. The film itself handles some fairly dark themes of death […]

Review: “The Theory Of Everything” Is Oscar Bait And Not Much Else

Review: “Interstellar” Is Unforgivably Long With No Consistent Tone
Title: Interstellar Director: Christopher Nolan Screenwriter: Jonathan Nolan (written by) and Christopher Nolan (written by) Principal Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Wes Bently, Jessica Chastain, John Lithgow, Casey Afleck, Michael Caine,and David Gyasi One of the things that I consider a perk of the digital age is that everyone seems to care a little more […]
Interstellar is epic but riddled with problems
I loved Interstellar, it was beautiful, had thoroughly intriguing story, and even had a satisfactory conclusion. However, I cannot turn a blind eye to some significant problems with the story and direction that I saw. The story problems prevent the movie from being as effective as it could have been, and Christopher Nolan’s direction suffers […]
Review: “Nightcrawler” is dark, disturbing, and captivating
Title: Nightcrawler Director Dan Gilroy Screenwriter: Dan Gilroy Principal Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Bill Paxton, and Riz Ahmed There is a rather large argument happening in certain sections of the Internet at the moment. It’s called “Gamer Gate” and it’s something I’m not really going to get into because I like not having people […]
Review: “Birdman” is very good but ostentatious
Title: Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu Screenwriter: Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, and Armando Bo Principal Cast: Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Zach Galifianakis, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Amy, Ryan, and Andrea Riseborough I’ve been sitting here for the better part of an hour trying to come up […]
Before I Go to Sleep is too timid and tiring
Before I Go to Sleep had all the potential to be a good suspenseful thriller, but the potential was squandered. A suspense thriller without suspense is a waste; in this case, the title becomes a taunt, or a dare. This film was a directorial failure by Rowan Joffé, who could not set the tone appropriately, […]
Birdman: The Unexpected Virtue of Audaciousness
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is a cinematographic playground. Beautifully captured by renowned cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki in what looks like a handful of extraordinary long shots. Those long shots it turns out were a combination of long shots and seamless editing. The effect is nothing short of magnificent, I was intentionally watching for […]
Daniel Radcliffe is enthralling in Horns
Horns is a magnificently dark story filled with performances that kept me transfixed. As the film progressed, the tone of the film grew more sinister to the point where Daniel Radcliffe was simply chilling. This is the first film director Alexandre Aja did not write himself, and might be his best feature film to date. […]
The Best of Me is a tedious romance trope
I am in no way shape or form the demographic for which this film is intended, so take what I say here with that weight. The core audience for this film will love it, and some may even love it while seeing it for what it is. The Best of Me is low romance fantasy. […]

Kill The Messenger was intriguing, complex, and a little dry.
Kill The Messenger was intriguing and compelling. Its basis in truth lends much to the story, grounding the film. It is apparent that while some events and characters may have been enhanced to improve the narrative for entertainment value, the extent of that exaggeration was reasonable and I did not feel the integrity of the […]
