Cloud Atlas Review
“Our lives and our choices, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction. Yesterday my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Fear, belief, love, phenomena that determined the course of our lives. These forces begin long before we are born and continue long after we perish. Yesterday, I believe I…
Argo Review
“This is the best bad idea we have sir…by far” -Jack O’ Donnell Ben Affleck may be a bit polarizing when it comes to his acting career, but his directing career up to this point has been excellent with two very outstanding films The Town and Gone Baby Gone both receiving numerous awards and critical acclaim as well as…
Sinister Review

I’m looking back at the summer season of 2012 and giving an overall evaluation. Unlike summer 2011 which gave us many…
Total Recall Review
“You don’t have the most reliable of memories do you?” -Chancellor Vilos Cohaagen We live in an era where Hollywood is striving to find almost any brand it can find in young adult novels, toys, more recently board games, and old movies to ensure a built in audience. Total Recall is a remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s…
The Dark Knight Rises Review
