Chronicle (2012)

Chronicle (2012)

An amazing journey into the lives of 3 very realistic teenage boys during a year in High School. Chronicle is the story of Andrew Detmer (Dane Dehaan), Matt Garetty (Alex Russell) and Steve Montgomery (Michael B.

Red Tails (2012)

Red Tails (2012)

It’s 1944 and the Negro is still regarded as an unintelligent man, incapable of fighting in America’s wars due to cowardice and the inability to make intelligent decisions. This old, racist denouncement – made to fuel segregation, came from the 20′s and was still being followed by the United States military in World War II. Red Tails is...

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest (2009)

Vicki Zhao Wei’s portrayal of the legendary warrior is flawless and commendable. While the source material is a poem that has been speculated on and claimed by different people,...

Rise of The Planet of The Apes

Rise of The Planet of The Apes

There was so much going on under the surface of this movie that despite it’s shiny coat of Hollywood CGI you cannot help but to love it through and through. When I saw Rise of The Planet of The Apes two things came to mind; the first is my dislike for pets, people owning pets and their defense in calling these cage beasts “family members”...
