Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) LGBT films are a bit of an odd bunch. There is always some coming of age or realization, element involved and for most of the dramas, there is some element of rejection. Be it by parents, friends, extended family, a first love which ends up really being an infatuation, in many…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4z7Px68ywk Overview A tedious as it goes on romantic drama which, for some ungodly reason, is two hours.

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) The discovery of this movie came from “IndieWire’s Favorite Asian Films of 2016” and since I have become a bit bored, if not sick of, run of the mill American movies, I decided to spread my wings. Unfortunately, this one reminded me that while non-US cinema maybe more daring, if not…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) In a sort of weird way, Kizumonogatari, thanks to us witnessing the birth of Hanekawa’s crush on Koyomi, sort of becomes a romance. Just one which features more violence than gore than your usual monster/ girl romantic movie. Trigger Warning(s): Blood (Excessive) | Gore (Body Mutilation, intestines being exposed)

Overview Every fan of a cult hit wishes for their favorite show to get the proper send-off, and Veronica Mars: The Movie doesn’t just give Veronica one more case, but presents an argument for why it should be renewed like Family Guy was. Review (with Spoilers) In September it will be a decade since Veronica Mars…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) 20th Century Women is so many things at once. It is a coming of age story, a sort of mid-life crisis, a story dealing with women in the heart of the sexual revolution and the rise of feminism. All of which it does strangely well despite splitting its focus. Noted Actor(s)…
Overview Based on Actual Events always means a sensationalized version of the truth, but when it comes to frats… how sensationalized are the events, really? Trigger Warning(s): Physical and Mental Abuse | Vomiting | Blood Review (with Spoilers) There is a certain mystique to fraternities. On one hand, they are the source of parties, they…
Overview Thanks to his mother being overwhelmed with being a single parent, her oldest son is tasked with taking care of his two younger siblings.

Overview The Last Robin Hood shows why documentaries sometimes are better than anything attempting to resemble a biopic. Trigger Warning(s): Pedophilia Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Overview A slightly self-deprecating movie that pretty writes its own criticisms. Review (with Spoilers) At this point, I can firmly say I am an Olivia Wilde fan and if her name is attached to a film, likely I will sooner or later watch it. Though I must admit, with her being paired with Jason Bateman,…
