The Little Mermaid
Now, now, now… Please don’t go and lose immediate interest in this post. I have my reasons for reviewing this particular movie right now. First, it’s a classic Disney princess movie. It may not be quite as old and classic as some of the others, but people today still consider Ariel to be a classic […]
Sharknado
Now, now… Don’t get all judgmental just because of the name or because of anything you’ve previously heard about this horribly rendered, hilarious, poorly written, illogical, b-list movie. Now yes, this movie bad. Like really, really, REALLY bad, but before you write it off as a waste of time and something to avoid when picking […]
Safety Not Guaranteed
Safety Not Guaranteed is hilarious. And charming. And a tiny bit sad. And uplifting. Basically, Safety Not Guaranteed is the perfect combination of romance, science fiction, and comedy, but also tinged with the loss of innocence to stir up just the right amount of drama. The actors chosen for these roles were cast perfectly, all […]
Seven Psycopaths
Seven Psychopaths is a MUST SEE. Okay, if you get really queasy and can’t take graphic violence, maybe you should steer clear, but otherwise GO RENT OR DOWNLOAD IT RIGHT NOW.

The movie exemplifies the dark and extremely violent satire of America in the 1980’s while […]
Infamous
I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the Truman Capote book In Cold Blood, but it is revered as Capote’s best literary work. It follows the story of the two murderers of the Clutters, a wealthy farming family, found slain in their home, from before the crime is committed till after the offenders […]
Green Street Hooligans
This past weekend was my 18th birthday and my clueless, somewhat insulting brother finally got me a gift I can really enjoy. About a month before I came to school, my older brother moved to Virginia, stealing almost every single DVD in our household and taking it with him, leaving me utterly movie-less. Luckily for […]
The GREAT Gatsby
The Great Gatsby. A classic work of literature by F. Scott Fitzgerald that had already been poorly translated into film in 1974 with Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby and was trashed by critics for its superficiality and “blind faithfulness” to the novel. Knowing this, when it was announced another attempt would be made to recreate […]
