Film Review: Immortals

Immortals is a beautiful, awesome, action packed spectacle that sticks right to the hero’s journey and creates a new(ish) tale of Greek mythology that lets the Gods go kill crazy.

Melancholia is the latest from Lars von Trier and the result is a gorgeous, engaging, suspenseful, and even funny film as we watch our protagonist struggle with depression in an excellent turn by Kirsten Dunst.

Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II

The Deathly Hallows: Part II is an exciting, heart pumping, and near perfect finale to the Harry Potter series.
