By: Nikki May You’re taught a few things when you’re born and raised in Austin: Music is life, breakfast tacos can be eaten at any time of day, and SXSW means that downtown should be avoided if you want any chance of keeping your sanity and patience. Rightfully so. It wasn’t until I was older… Continue reading SXSW: New Experience, Old Resident

SXSW: Days Two and Three
By Laurie Coker SXSW, typically a bit of a zoo, never ceases to amaze me. While I get used to the whole nature of things changing downtown mid week, with the music folks coming in, it appears that crazy, wildly dressed and plain outlandish is still the order of the day on Sixth street. Since… Continue reading SXSW: Days Two and Three
SXSW: First Day – First LOOK!
By Laurie Coker SXSW went into full swing yesterday afternoon and after interviewing the gracious cast of Premature, including Alan Tudyk, intern Nikki May and I grabbed pizza slices on the run and headed to the red carpet to meet the cast and crew of Chef, a delightful, funny and yes, super cute and fun… Continue reading SXSW: First Day – First LOOK!
Review: LEGO MOVIE
By Laurie Coker Rating: A+ My grandson begged and begged me to take him to the screening of The Lego Movie, as if I wouldn’t, so he and his sister and I took in the Saturday morning screening.

Review: LABOR DAY
By Laurie Coker Rating: C+ Dark and gloomy describes not only the characters of screenwriter/director Jason Reitman’s new film Labor Day; it also expresses tone of every moment in the story. Passionate performances from first class actors, perhaps one of the best of Brolin’s career, kept me engrossed in the tale, but little is new… Continue reading Review: LABOR DAY
Review: JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT
By Laurie Coker Rating: C- At least three different actors have played Tom Clancy’s famed action hero Jack Ryan, and in the latest adaptation, Chris Pine (Star Trek) plays the title character. Admittedly, I don’t read Clancy novels. Pines, Ryan has all the good looks and muscle power necessary to play Ryan, but Clancy’s story,… Continue reading Review: JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT

Review: THE WOLF OF WALL STREET
By Laurie Coker Rating: A With pure unadulterated decadence, debauchery and depravity – from poverty to Wall Street and on to sleaze Street – Jordan Belfort did it all and Martin Scorsese’s darkly comedic telling of Belfort’s rags to riches story, by way of penny stocks, drugs and carousing, is perhaps one of the best… Continue reading Review: THE WOLF OF WALL STREET
Review: AMERICAN HUSTLE
By Savannah Wood Rating: B+ On the wake of American Hustle’s seven Golden Globe nominations and widespread critical acclaim, I went into the theater with high expectations. Certainly I enjoyed myself over the course of the almost two and a half hour-long film, but when it was over I wasn’t left with the buzzing positivity… Continue reading Review: AMERICAN HUSTLE
