The performances in Carol won’t make you get up screaming from the theater, but the awkwardness of it all might. Here’s why I had a few issues…

“Redmayne and Vikander Are Wonderful” The Danish Girl Review
Eddie Redmayne has been on quite the tear lately. After his Oscar win with the Theory of Everything, I was surprised to see him follow it up with another strong performance. Well, if we ignore Jupiter Ascending…because he had this…
Marvel Universe Live: Try the “It’s Not Just For Kids” Argument After This
If you’re a nerd like me, you inevitably run into someone who overhears you talking about how much you love something nerdy ( for me it’s superheroes), and they will look at you with their snide, condescending look and ask…

“The Radical Life Of Joy Mangano” Joy Review
December is always a month chop full with new biopics and courageous stories. Joy is no exception to that trend and it doesn’t manage to break free of the basement dweller status that many of these occupy.
“Wild Ride Of Financial Turmoil” The Big Short Review
While I disagree with the number of Oscar nods everyone thinks this film will get, I can definitely agree how strong the film is regardless. Adam McKay, fresh off his screenwriting success with Ant-Man, gets a crack at detailing the 2007 housing…
New Theory About Rey Explains Why She Is So Awesome
I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that even though The Force Awakens is a Star Wars movie, it is also a J.J. Abrams movie; meaning we have mysteries heaped upon unanswered mysteries by the time the credits rolled. Among many…
