Movie Review: Inside Out
Nutshell: quite possibly Pixar’s first existential children’s film. Inside Out may have all the bright-n-shiny for the little ones, but make no mistake; adults will be the ones that really dive into this film. Tons of stuff to love, though … Continue reading
Movie Review: Jurassic World
Nutshell: Writer/director Colin Trevorrow does exactly what Jurassic World‘s theme park does; makes things bigger, faster and more dangerous in order to whip audiences into a frenzy. Pratt and Howard look great as Smart Tough Guy and Willfully Clueless Woman … Continue reading
Movie Review: San Andreas
Nutshell: The feel-good disaster movie of the summer! Low on blood and onscreen human decimation, this is a disaster flick that you can take your grandmother (or grandkids) to. Does that make it dull? Nup; the CGI is the best … Continue reading

Far from the Maddening Crowd is far from on point
Nutshell: A beautifully crafted and acted story, surrounding a thoughtless, self-absorbed lead character that I couldn’t bring myself to care for. A promising start turns into a de-evolution of the character and a shift of focus from story to proselytizing, … Continue reading
Age of Ultron delivers the destruction
Nutshell: More aptly titled The Avengers: Battle of Helm’s Deep, this nonstop action-packed thrillfest will get fans of bam-pow totally stoked, while others may wish they could take a breather every now and then. Would have liked more on Scarlet … Continue reading
Elsewhere Review: Age of Adaline
As always, clicky for the original piece! Age of Adaline really touched me. Perhaps because it had its heart in the right place, and didn’t shy away from the problems someone would have hiding the fact that s/he doesn’t age … Continue reading

As always, clicky for the original post! TwitView: Ex Machina Smart, intriguing, and not afraid to stare straight into the tough questions about AI. Genres wobble a bit at the climax, but it’s a well-executed film. Grade: B+ Blade Runner. … Continue reading
