The Giver (2014)
“The elders are never wrong.” What a pleasant surprise of a movie. The trailers seemed obsessed with looking like the rest of the young adult fantasy films released in recent […]
Boyhood (2014)
“You don’t want the bumpers, life doesn’t give you bumpers.” Movies are, in my humble opinion, the most complete art form. They coalesce as a holistic vision incorporating colors and […]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

Obvious Child (2014)
“Wait till you see my merkin.” It’s sad, the state of movies, how predictable they’ve become. We can say to ourselves such and such is going to happen next, and […]
