Review: ENDLESS LOVE
By Savannah Wood Rating: C There’s a classic adage in the storytelling vernacular called “show, don’t tell”. The idea is centralized around encouraging writers to reveal the story through subtleties, expressive elements, and cues rather than explicitly telling the reader everything they need to know–let the story do the talking. No one told the writers… Continue reading Review: ENDLESS LOVE
Review: ROBOCOP
By Savannah Wood Rating: B- It’s easy to get tired of Hollywood’s increasingly bankrupt originality. The ever-struggling film industry has been cranking out remakes, reboots, and adaptations with an alarming magnitude.

Review: ROBOCOP
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Much like the 2012 version of Total Recall failed to outdo Paul Verhoeven’s original film, this 2014 upgrade of RoboCop never matches the smart humor, over the top violence, and awesome characters that have made Verhoeven’s version a cult favorite. The new film may boast improved… Continue reading Review: ROBOCOP

By Renee’ Collins Rating: 4 (Out of 5 Reels) I wanted to see this film because I have learned about Hitler’s plan to steal and stock pile everything he could get his hands on which included art but I had no idea how far he went. An unlikely World War II platoon is tasked to… Continue reading Reviews: MONUMENTS MEN
