Review: GODZILLA

By Laurie Coker Rating: C+ There is perhaps no other lizard (alien lizard) as famous as Godzilla, not even the Geico Gecko. This icon of the big screen has mystified and delighted audiences for decades . This fire-breathing mammoth, who can destroy (and does) a full city block with a swing of his tale, once again… Continue reading Review: GODZILLA

Review: The Truth About – NEIGHBORS (SXSW 2014)

By Laurie Coker Rating: F- I wish I had time to write a longer more PASSIONATE review about Seth Rogen and Zac Efron’s film Neighbors, but I don’t. I like to consider myself fairly open minded, accepting person, knowing that I don’t represent the demographic for every film, and I did the same with Neighbors,… Continue reading Review: The Truth About – NEIGHBORS (SXSW 2014)

SXSW 2014 Review: STAGE FRIGHT

By: Nikki May Rating: B Amidst the countless heart-wrenching, uncomfortably interesting movies that you would expect at SXSW, you almost crave some mind-numbing fun.

By Laurie Coker Rating: A- I would love to stay at Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. Larger than life, costuming, characters delicious colors meander brilliantly through a vivid, wonderful world as envisioned by Anderson in this remarkable tale of a M. Gustave the hotel concierge and the lobby boy, Zero, who marvels at his… Continue reading SXSW Review: THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL – A NIGHT WITH WES ANDERSON

SXSW 2014 Review: THE MEND

By Nikki May Rating: D The premise is perfectly fine — two brothers, seemingly different people, manage to figure out they’re more simliar than they thought. Just from that description alone, you would think it would be interesting, though not incredibly original. It has room to wiggle, room for some uniqueness in a rather known… Continue reading SXSW 2014 Review: THE MEND

SXSW: It’s Hump Daaaaay!

By Laurie Coker As always, the face of downtown changes as the music festival kicks off and throngs of fans and bands flood into the city. Parking prices sky rocket, lines grow, fashion changes significantly and film badge holders grow a tad grumpier. Still we plug on, hopefully of catching a gem in film, weary… Continue reading SXSW: It’s Hump Daaaaay!
