The Wrestler

Rourke Shows the Studios he Can Act! I went into The Wrestler knowing that I’d be seeing something genuinely unique and with a 98% on RottenTomatoes.com I had very high expectations. To say the...

2008: The Cinescape

If it’s one person who can remind me of why I have such a passion for film it’s Matt Shapiro. Last year he compiled a video of the best dramas of the year and he’s back again with a beautiful portrayal of each and every film that made 2008 so...

It’s that time of year again, the Christmas holidays when everyone exchanges gifts and pretends to get along for the sake of togetherness.  As I’ve grown older I’ve slowly started to realize that Christmas is really meant for the kids and is an excuse for family to take time off...
