Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a hard movie to place. It is not quite a comedy, really. Nor is it a drama. Black comedy sort of makes sense, but for me, black comedies are much
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
This is a bit late. I did watch this before Thanksgiving, but I was distracted and did not get the chance to write and put this up before hand. It is still the holiday season 1 and this movie could
Argo

The Grey
All I kept hearing about The Grey was that it was Liam Neeson fighting wolves. That’s sort of true. I was underwhelmed by The Grey. I like Neeson and he’s been in a fair number of thrillers lately, so I
The Postman
I love post-apocalyptic literature. Probably why my thesis revolved around it. The Postman fits the bill, but disappointingly so. The movie is incredibly vague about the whole, how the world ended. 1 Anyway, you start following Kevin Costner’s character farting
