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

Rush is aptly named, for it is awesome.

I’m one of those people who has never really been “into” cars.  So when Rush started making the rounds, I thought to myself, meh.  I’m an idiot.  Because Rush is a jaw-dropping thrill ride of a movie.  It’s the kind … Continue reading

Movie Review: The To-Do List

Porky’s.  Fast Times at Ridgemont High.  Weird Science.  Stealing Beauty.  American Pie.  If there’s one thing a hollywood studio loves more than a money-making action blockbuster, it’s a movie about kids trying to get it on.  But most of the … Continue reading
