Unreviewable Films: Before Midnight [2013]

(Spoilers ahead) I’d hate to come off as insane. After all, I don’t know Jesse and Céline (nor do they exist), but with Sunrise and Sunset, I grew to love them and care… Continue reading

Flash Review: Before Sunset [2004]

Despite a rough, awkward start, and the fact that there’s even less of a plot now, Before Sunset is a success because the conversations between Jesse and Céline are even more fascinating. Significantly… Continue reading

Flash Review: The Conjuring [2013]

A cliché-free horror movie is as rare as a four-leaf clover, and while The Conjuring doesn’t quite get it right in that respect, it does succeed in giving us an involving, entertaining chiller,… Continue reading

Flash Review: Before Sunrise [1995]

An impossibly charming, intelectually and philosophically stimulating romance set in Vienna. The writing by Richard Linklater and Kim Krizan is genius and crackles with wit. The organic performances by Ethan Hawke and Julie… Continue reading

Flash Review: Now You See Me [2013]

Despite the ending not being up-to-par with the rest of the film, it’s not as bad as to spoil the whole experience (which is incredibly fun, I might add). This supremely entertaining movie… Continue reading

Flash Review: A Fish Called Wanda [1988]

Classy, hilarious comedy with a pleasant British flair. Wacky and unpredictable, A Fish Called Wanda relies on top-notch writing by Monty Python alum John Cleese and a splendid cast, where Jamie Lee Curtis… Continue reading
