When watching a movie it is rare that I find myself struggling to formulate an opinion on it. A movie that really does not have anything necessarily wrong with it, yet there is just nothing about it that strikes me as unique, nothing about it that inspires reaction out of me. It is not a bad movie, ...

If you’re familiar with Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, you’re probably already aware of the surprising twists and subtle depths that his stories are willing to go.

I cannot understate my apprehension regarding 2019s “Zombieland: Double Tap” directed by Ruben Fleischer. It was a movie that seemingly came out of nowhere and from the few trailers that were actually released, it did not look all that great. The first “Zombieland” came out in 2009 and did ...
“El Camino”, directed by Vince Gilligan, is truly average in every sense of the word. There is not a single scene that sticks out to me as anything extraordinary. I’m not saying that there is anything inherently wrong with the movie either, and it definitely serves as a worthwhile epilogue to ...

As I stare down my own graduation, I cannot help but feel I owe IUPUI everything. My mother’s decision to get a nursing degree from IUPUI in the 1990s was hers alone.

Back in 2008, Marvel released both “IronMan” and “The Incredible Hulk”-- not knowing how much of an impact the movies would leave 11 years later. There are plenty of people out there who just see this as a film, but there are those who see the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a part of their life. ...
Warning: this review contains spoilers. If the 1920’s were the Golden Age of Hollywood, we are currently living through the Rusted Age of Hollywood.
