[Review] August: Osage County (2013)

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY began life as a play written by Tracy Letts, Tracy in fact won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama with this piece.

[Review] Captain Phillips (2013)

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS is a rather extraordinary film, dealing with a subject matter that has been very news worthy for several years, taking a true account and not only respecting all those involved but keeping the film very grounded and extremely well made.

[Review] Frozen (2013)

[Review] Frozen (2013)

Disney is back with another animated feature with Princesses, but this latest offering FROZEN is rather different than the usual fare.

[Mini Review] Gravity (2013)

[Mini Review] Gravity (2013)

GRAVITY has received a few criticisms lately over the validity of the science used, it isn’t 100% accurate, and honestly why should it be? This isn’t a documentary, it is a film, and the main issue at play here is survival. They have aimed to give this the feel of being realistic, but as film … Continue reading
