Review: FROZEN

By Renee’ Collins Rating: 4.5 (Out of 5 Reels) I planned on taking my twelve year old niece and mother to see this film but at the last minute they had to cancel, so I was left on my own to see this film and absolutely loved it and wished they had not missed the… Continue reading Review: FROZEN

Review: PHILOMENA

By Renee’ Collins Rating: 5 (Out of 5 Reels) I am an absolute fan of all things Dame Judy Dench and when I saw the trailer for Philomena I knew immediately that I wanted to see it.  A world-weary political journalist picks up the story of a woman’s search for her son, who was taken… Continue reading Review: PHILOMENA

Review: HOMEFRONT

By Renee’ Collins Rating: 1 (Out of 5 Reels) I have actually enjoyed Jason Statham’s previous work in the Transporter series; that is the first and third film.  He also performs well in the remake of The Italian Job along-side Donald Sutherland, Edward Norton and Mark Wahlberg.  A former DEA agent moves his family to… Continue reading Review: HOMEFRONT

Review: NEBRASKA

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) Perhaps the perfect third title in Alexander Payne’s road trip trilogy, Nebraska is pure unadulterated Payne; and that is surprising considering that his latest script came not from his usual partner, Jim Taylor, but from new collaborator Bob Nelson. Still, Nebraska has all the right elements… Continue reading Review: NEBRASKA

Review: PHILOMENA

By Laurie Coker Rating: A- I realize it’s completely cliché to say this, but Dame Judi Dench could read a phone book and people would listen. Ms. Dench’s remarkable, venerable performance and the screenplay, adapted by her co-star Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope from Martin Sixsmith’s 2009 nonfiction book, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee makes every… Continue reading Review: PHILOMENA
