Star Trek (2009) Review

Rating-(High)Full Price!!   I'm not really much of a Star Trek fan (I saw like one season of TNG and some of the movies), but hot damn was this movie fucking badass. During one of the worst summer movie seasons in cinematic history (2009) Star Trek came out and blew audiences and critics away, and for very good reason. It is one of the best summer movies ever and if you call yourself a fan of sci-fi you must see this, and if you love a fun action movie you must see…

Lincoln (2012) Review

Rating-(High)Full Price!!   Stephen Spielberg's Lincoln stars Daniel Day Lewis as the beloved president during the dark days of the civil war. While countless men are dying on the battlefield, another war is being waged in the heart of Washington: The war to free slaves. The story is a gripping one, it…

Zero Dark Thirty Review

It took ten years and two wars to find the most wanted man in contemporary American history: Osama bin Laden, the fanatical man who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians around the world. Whether the events in this film portray the facts or are merely a variation of what really…

Quentin Tarantino seems to be in a very specific mode right now, and that mode has him re-imagining history. Whether it be Nazi-infested Europe during World War II or the final days of slavery in the antebellum south,…

'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' To Feature Nick Fury Backstory?

As Marvel prepares for its second phase of comic book films, it is definitely not losing sight of what made the first batch work so well. Namely, they are continuing to interconnect their universe even as they expand it. Case in point, we already know that Nick Fury and Black…

Assassin's Creed III: Running Historical Review

Background

I work at an American History museum, and Revolutionary history is probably my favorite era, with all of the complexity of decidedly controversial American issues, including the dichotomy of equality for some vs. equality for all, race, gender, symbolism, wealth disparity, and national narrative. When I saw the trailers and info on ACIII, I couldn’t wait to play the game. I bought it on Halloween night, and dove into it the next day. Here, I’ll be giving some of my thoughts on… Continue

Movies that changed America

So, if you ask a film student, or perhaps a great film journalist to name the films that have had the biggest impact on America, what would their answer be? I'm not talking about impact on American film, I'm looking closely at American culture and identity, which films have actually changed us as Americans? Film has been a large part of American culture for nearly 100 years now, and 100 years is nearly half of our 234-year development. I think it would be naive of anyone to say film has not…

The Oscars...........time for change?

Unlike some people at my school, I stayed up to watch the 2011 Oscars. Now, I thought I had it figured out that The Social Network would win Best Directer while The Kings Speech would win Best Picture, then 2 to 3 hours later when Katheryn Bigelow opened the envelope and said the the words "And the best…

1930s and Backless Evening Gowns

The period of 1930s is marked with backless evening gowns and short-sleeve dresses worn with long gloves. You can trace a lot of fury elements in the fashion of that period. Besides, you should like the fashion houses that became popular in 1930s.



There are many factors that can influence the fashion. The most influential factors are political and social changes in the country and the world. When people experience the changes, they try to adjust to those by all… Continue

My late review of District 9 (as spoiler free as possible)



The surprise of the summer. Besides seeing some movie posters and the standard trailer, I had heard next to nothing about this film. All I knew going in was that it had aliens and a budget of $30 million.



Was it a political thriller? An action flick? A romance? I had no clue, and that was part of the fun of this film, I didn't know what direction it was going to take. So if you want a similar experience, stop reading this… Continue

What IS a b Movie? $10 bucks says Shyamalan doesn't know!

Slow down there M. Night. You know, while I found your antics insufferable thus far, this time you really stepped over the line from Douchetown and took a fast train to Completeassville. It's one thing that your movie's getting reemed. Hell Korey's review of The Happening is the kindest I've heard. When talking to people whose opinions I trust, however, the picture is much, much bleaker. The nicest there was "It's the funniest movie of the summer" on down to "The worst thing I've seen all… Continue
