Film Review: Cloud Atlas

Cloud Atlas is a fantastic piece of audacious and exhilarating filmmaking that is unlike just about anything you have ever seen in a movie theater.

Movie Review: Cloud Atlas

The Wachowski’s return to the big screen with Cloud Atlas – a movie with an incredible premise that should be able to hold together a three hour movie. However, some of the acting and writing makes for a more frustrating film than a philosophical one.

Film Review: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Review: Charlie Wilson’s War

Mike Nichols new film is a great piece of history through film with a story that few people probably have heard of or know much about in the first place. Tom Hanks stars as the title character; a congressman from a small district in Texas that you would think didn’t have much power, but has […]
