To celebrate the return of the Olympic Winter Games to Sochi, Russia in 2014, Gabe Polsky set out to make a documentary about the Red Army. The Red Army teams for those of you who were not aware, were players who served the Soviet Union both on the ice and in the military. This story … More Red Army (2014)
I wanted to watch Kill the Messenger because the trailer was intriguing and Jeremy Renner looked like he was heavily invested in the character he was playing, Gary Webb. Little did I know or remember what Webb had researched, published, and ultimately died for. The American government was responsible to cooking up and distributing crack … More Kill the Messanger (2014)
The Water Diviner peaked my interest last year after stumbling across the film on Netflix, which led me to watch the trailer. After finally watching it last night, I got to admit I am really torn on how much I want to like/love/dislike the movie. The beginning made me question whether this was what I … More The Water Diviner (2014)
Walk of Shame showcases that even the most recognizable person can have a bad day in the big city. Elizabeth Banks is Meagan Miles, the every night news caster who needs to get home after a one night stand in south Los Angeles. This film has been on my watch list for almost three years … More Walk of Shame (2014)
Love, Rosie is your typical romantic comedy, yet is not your typical romantic comedy at the same time. Sometimes we find love at a young age and it works, sometimes we find love and it is just not meant to be. That’s what we find here with our two leads Rosie (Lily Collins) and Alex … More Love, Rosie (2014)
9/10 Step Up All In may be considered a weak ending to the franchise, but has the best dance finale of them all. I hate reality TV, so this story is super lame and corny, but the chemistry between our two leads (both appearing for the second time) made for some intense story telling. The … More Step Up: All In (2014)
2/10 First, I’d like to say sorry to the Academy and to everyone else I will offend. Birdman was a terrible movie. How on earth this won the best picture is beyond me because this was so painful to watch. I understand the story, I understand how personal this was to Michael Keaton, and I … More Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
2/10 Labeled as a western, Frontera was on my watch list because it focuses on a murder along the US/Mexico border and starred Ed Harris and Michael Pena. Sadly this movie was a complete bust and in no way shape or form should be called a “western”. Just because the setting is the deserts of … More Frontera (2014)
4/10 My hope was that the ever so funny Miles Teller and the charming Analeigh Tipton would give us one heck of a comedy. Instead this straight to Netflix original idea really wasted the talent of its two leads. I’ve watched a bunch of these kind of movies and sometimes you find a diamond in … More Two Night Stand (2014)
8/10 Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could enjoy anything Veronica Mars, and once again I was wrong. The movie, which had a short theatre run, was clever and entertaining enough to keep me invested in the story and the outcome. Obviously anyone new to the characters need a little background to … More Veronica Mars (2014)
