Review: Face/Off (and wrap up)
Here it comes. The moment you’ve all been waiting for… Pretty much every blog post up until this final installment has been positive and glowing (with the possible exception of “Argo,” but even there I didn’t critique much). I love … Continue reading
Review: Catch Me If You Can
No, it’s not “Zero Dark Thirty.” I was too busy making my own movie this weekend to see that one. It’s also not a new movie–2002 is over a decade ago now. I’m reviewing this movie because I saw it … Continue reading
Review: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
I never got into Lord of the Rings (the Harry Potter series took its place in my heart, I guess). I’ve seen the movies, of course, but haven’t touched the books. I have read The Hobbit, however. It was a long time ago … Continue reading

Review: Cloud Atlas
If I had to describe “Cloud Atlas” with one word, it would probably be “ambitious.” …Immediately followed by “Tom Hanks,” because if there is any certainty in life, it’s that Tom Hanks is in this movie. To summarize the plot … Continue reading
Review: Django Unchained
This isn’t fair. I’m on day one of my new job as Mr. Movie Critic, and the first movie I decide to see with the intent of performing a sharp, keen analysis is Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained.” I don’t even … Continue reading
The New Passion Blog
Despite the success of last semester’s passion blog, the Lunchtime Adventures, I have decided that something different is in order for this semester. This is mostly because I have no idea how to follow up on the last ten adventures, … Continue reading
