Snowpiercer – Movie Review and Trailer

The premise of Snowpiercer is ostensibly depressing, but in a weird way, it is also optimistic about the current state of the world.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Movie Review

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes doesn’t play by the damn dirty rules of Hollywood blockbuster sequels. While I currently prefer its predecessor, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn may yet supplant it, as it is the type of movie that demands mulling over, which is already one way it sets itself apart. It is also...

Just Another Movie Review: Jersey Boys

Sometimes a story is just too good to screw up.
