REVIEW: THE BIG SHORT
The Big Short is a fantastic film based on the nonfiction bestseller by Michael Lewis. What seems like a story out of a work of fiction, this film takes the audience back during the time of the 2008 financial crisis. I didn’t know much about this film going in. In fact, the first time I … Continue reading REVIEW: THE BIG SHORT

Do Horror Movies Stand the Test of Time?
In a recent viewing of Dracula (1931), I could tell how much our generation has changed in what we find scary. That is not surprising, seeing that production teams now have more tools to help them convey that emotion of fear to the audience. But in a movie that had scared its audience upon initial … Continue reading Do Horror Movies Stand the Test of Time?

Film Clip: Raging Bull
It's pure genius, when a film can use sound (or lack there of) to convey to an audience the significance of a moment. But it has to be done right. Time and time again, directors have used sound and cinematography to show how a character might be feeling, or how the audience members should feel, … Continue reading Film Clip: Raging Bull
