Review: The Fifth Estate
By Laurie Coker Rating: D Benedict Cumberbatch impresses in spite of his one-dimensional character, while The Fifth Estate falls fatally flat. I truly do not know what else to say. Director Bill Condon manages to create a film about government secrets, deadly lies and the power of technology and turn it, not in to a film of… Continue reading Review: The Fifth Estate
Review: The Summit
By Savanah Wood Rating: B K2 is a beautiful, formidable mountain, located in the Himalayas on the border of China and Pakistan, and its summit is one of the most respected and sought after elevations in the climbing community.
