Mid90’s Review: An Innovative Story That Falls Short
Although Mid90’s was written and directed by Jonah Hill, he did not act in any part of this movie. Instead, he chose to showcase his talent with others in the forefront. This film is artistic and uncomfortable; sometimes on purpose, other times purely from accidental oversight and missteps. It is not a movie that fans of Hill’s acting would like because it possesses a dark, twisted cle...[Read More]

The Jungle Book Review
The Jungle Book “Forget about your worries and your strife” Movies have slowly become a family tradition for me: I have a lot of fond memories driving up to the local Harkins with my Mom and Brother and seeing more movies than I can remember during my 27 years (bloody hell I’m getting old.) This tradition has introduced me to some truly crappy movies (I’m looking at you The Fifth Wave) and some ...[Read More]

Maybe some of your earliest memories are of watching weathered copies of the original trilogy on VHS.

Review: The Phoenix Symphony – Pixar in Concert
This may be becoming a theme for my articles, but I should put a disclaimer here at the beginning of this review. I don’t really consider myself a fanboy when it comes to anything that I enjoy. I try to have an objective opinion about anything that I put time into for recreation. This applies to everything I enjoy… everything except for Pixar. When it comes to Pixar, everything they ...[Read More]
