How To Be Single

Feb 11, 2016

If you do decide to see How to Be Single, don’t expect much. It isn’t very funny. Johnson plays almost the same character as she did in Fifty Shades of Grey while Wilson is “Fat Amy”, only in a different setting.

Our Brand Is Crisis

Feb 01, 2016

As far as political movies go, Our Brand is Crisis sadly doesn’t make the statement it had the potential to make.

The Finest Hours

Jan 28, 2016

I also had flashbacks a few times to a similar film, The Perfect Storm, as I watched the small ship battle to crest the waves barreling down upon them.
