If You Haven’t Got Your Mental Health, You Haven’t Got Anything

Do you ever just feel like you need a mental health day ? Like even more than all the other days ? Like you just wanna punch the next person who asks you how your day is in the face? Like you’re super anti-social and it just so happens that everyone wants you to hang out with them or go to x,y, and z today ? Every day is peaches and rainbows and unicorns? 

Movie Review: The Great Gatsby

With a rich 1920s landscape to play within, a very capable list of actors, an award-winning visual director, a hip soundtrack, and material that everyone is required to read in high school, The Great Gatsby has all of the ingredients of pure filmmaking genius and against all odds, grasps failure from the jaws of success.

It is hard to know where to start when a movie is such a big failure in so many different ways as is The Great Gatsby. Based on the classic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, screen writer and director Baz Luhrmann hacks apart, distorts concepts, over-stylizes visuals, makes poor choices with music, pulls bad performances from good actors and transforms quality material into long-winded pretentiousness.

G.I. JOE : RETALIATION ( Movie Review )

Movie Review : ARGO

Argo, the story of a CIA “exfiltration” agent tasked with getting American hostages out of the Iranian revolution, is a wonderfully paced, perfectly shot and fantastically acted film. An all-star cast spearheaded by actor/director Ben Affleck, Argo brings grit and honesty to a story that needed to be told.

With Academy Award caliber acting from talents such as Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, and a show-stealing Alan Arkin, each actor brings the perfect balance of intensity and humor. Most notable is the performance of Arkin, who plays an absolutely hysterical Hollywood producer recruited to provide an alibi for the CIA. With so many moments of tenseness, Arkin’s performance of Lester Siegel allows the audience a chance to breathe, reflect on the levity of the events unfolding, and possibly most importantly, laugh.
