Movie Review: Inside Llewyn Davis

I didn’t like it.  It’s “hero” is anything but.  It’s too realistic.  There’s no catharsis, no lights-on moment for it’s star.  And yet, Inside Llewyn Davis may be the best Cohen Brothers movie yet.  Yes, I’ve seen The Big Lebowski. … Continue reading

Movie Review — The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

It’s happened.  A film that makes me wish I was back in undergrad, simply so I could rush a sorority.  Python Nu Kappa is a real thing, right? Anyway, Monsters University may not be the newest story you’ve ever seen … Continue reading
