Dana’s Film Review: Dunkirk (2017)

Whenever a new Christopher Nolan film rolls into theaters, it isn’t a surprise that both media and fans alike immediately jump on the lauding-wagon and repeatedly praise the Oscar-winning director. After all, aside from the obvious ‘Oscar-winning director’ comment I just made, Nolan continuously introduces both new ideas and experimental film concepts to the film

Dana’s Film Review: Silence (2016)

As promised and mentioned in last week’s review, this week’s film of focus is Martin Scorsese’s Silence. Initially, I hesitated upon noticing this flick was a length film. But then I remembered that I had promised this flick for this week, (D’oh!), and realized I had no choice. Aha. Anyways, I had no expectations or

Film Review: Lion (2017)

2017: New year, means this girl’s finally gonna post some reviews on new movies, right? Yes sireee. For today’s update, I will be reviewing 6-time Oscar nominee, Lion. I know what you’re thinking. “Whoaaaa, it won six Oscars?” No little petunia, see that’s where you’re wrong.

Film Review: Fifty Shades of Black (2016)

RIGHT? In Michael Tiddes’ flick, the plot follows Hannah Steele (Kali Hawk) interviewing millionaire-entrepreneur, Christian Black (Marlon Wayans), for her school newspaper. Flirtation leads

Film Review: The Walk (2015)

Hollywood sure comes up with the crappiest ideas nowadays. Either it’s sequels or dull story-line plots. The Walk had a fairly odd plot-line, but was it one that succeeded? Directed by award-winning Robert Zemeckis, (Cast Away and Flight), The Walk stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as real-life Frenchman, Philippe Petit, who dreams of performing chilling high-wire walks for dazzled crowds.

Film Review: Joy (2015)

I never understood the hate for this movie—especially when it came out. Because of this, when I finally decided to watch the film my expectations for this flick were quite low. Directed by David O. Russell, Joy stars Jennifer Lawrence as Joy Mangano—a divorced single mom who juggles the hectic schedule of raising two children,

Retro Review: Empire of the Sun (1987)

Steven Spielberg has long been praised for his myriad of excellent work. Considered to be one of the founding pioneers of the New Hollywood era, Spielberg never disappoints with his limitless works of imagination. Having said that, I found it surprising that Empire of the Sun is not mentioned as much as Spielberg’s other work.
