“The Wolf of Wall Street” Review
Read more: “The Wolf of Wall Street” ReviewThe Wolf of Wall Street is a dangerous film. Remarkable, but dangerous. Martin Scorsese has crafted a film full of vigor and bravado. It is a movie that oozes confidence as much as it does sleaze. The Wolf Of Wall Street is exceptional filmmaking from exceptionally talented folk. However, it is so slickly made that I fear…

“Inside Llewyn Davis” Review
Read more: “Inside Llewyn Davis” ReviewSpoiler Warning: I don’t consider Inside Llewyn Davis to be a movie one can spoil in any grand way, it doesn’t rely on plot all too much, be warned, I discuss much of the film with little regard to whether or not you’ve seen it. Full confession: I know next to nothing about the folk-revival…

Get Outta Town: The Charm of Naturalness in “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town”
Read more: Get Outta Town: The Charm of Naturalness in “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town”Is “complicated” a word you would use to describe your life? How about “hectic”? “Crazy busy”? When we use these descriptives, they suggest that we’d rather be using other words to describe our lives, like “simple”, “exciting”, or “care-free”. How do we make that a reality? How can we lead more simple lives that don’t…

“About Time” Review
Read more: “About Time” ReviewI will keep this brief. There isn’t precisely a lot to say on Richard Curtis‘s latest effort, About Time. That isn’t due to lack of substance or quality, but because it is just such a familiar tale wrapped up in clever trappings. About Time follows the life of Tim Lake (Domnhall Gleason).

“Ender’s Game” Review
Read more: “Ender’s Game” ReviewEnder’s Game is an unfilmable novel as it stands. Firstly it follows a six year old boy genius as he is warped into a military leader by unethical teachers. Secondly the novel takes place as much in the eponymous Ender’s head as it does outside of it. None of this exactly screams ‘cinematic’. Well…it does include…
