Shannon: Lion is a beautifully filmed movie that tells us the life story of Saroo, a young boy who gets lost from his family in the overpopulated country of India. When he was five years old...

[Double Feature] Moana

David: I like the way Disney has been slowly branching out culturally over the years. I understand some of the movies have had some racist undertones reflective of the times (Dumbo and Aladdin...
Shannon: Disney brings us yet another movie full of songs, adventure, and self-fulfillment. Moana is about a young girl, who is the daughter of the chief, that will one day to be chief herself. When...

I’ll be the first to say this: I think my review is going to go against the masses on this one. Gold was screened for critics and audience members last night, and at times, I felt as if I was the only one laughing at jokes or reacting to twists. That’s not to say that I fantastically interpreted the movie more than other people – maybe I just identified with it a bit more. As a man who once was led by his mother through an Arkansas dirt field in mid-July in order to pan for gold in

[Double Feature] The Way Back

1/20/2017

 
by David
by Shannon
David: About halfway through The Way Back, I realized what I was watching. I was watching one of the Lord of the Rings films, but without the depth of characters. The grand, sweeping panoramas of...

[Double Feature] Split

1/19/2017

 
by David
by Shannon
David: Not many directors seem to have a career much like good old M. Night. He exploded onto the scene in 1999 with The Sixth Sense, one of the biggest twist endings in the history, and a great movie to boot...
Shannon: Split is a little bit different of a movie, and actually not what I had expected. From the trailer, it seemed like it would be a thriller about three girls that are kidnapped by a man with split...

by Shannon
David: In honor of Shannon’s birthday yesterday, today we’re doing a post starring who else? Matt Damon! So what is Damon’s quintessential role? I can hear some of you out there saying...
Shannon: Well, I'm another year older and I convinced David to review Jason Bourne for my birthday. This film is the stereotypical Jason Bourne movie that you would expect. It starts of with Nicky...

[Double Feature] The Girl on the Train

1/13/2017

 
by David
by Shannon
David: I went into this film not really knowing what to expect. It was based on a book, and it starred Emily Blunt. That was enough for me to go into it cautiously optimistic. It’s rare ...
Shannon: Starring Emily Blunt, The Girl on the Train is brought from pages to the big screen in a nicely done fashion. Rachel (Emily Blunt) loves to watch Megan and her husband from...

by David
by Shannon
David: Sully tells the story that many people are probably both familiar and unfamiliar with – the story of Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the man who landed a plane on the Hudson. Many
Shannon: I didn't realize that it had already been eight years since this happened. I remember when it happened for the most part, but not knowing much because I'm not a watcher of the news...

by David
by Shannon
David: When I think of Inglorious Basterds a few select things come immediately to mind. The first is Christof Waltz’s amazing opening performance. The second is “Bear Jew” and...
