I love movies. Does that make me crazy? Yes, Filmcraziest.
Hi all, I thought I would divert from my usual film reviews for a post. I wanted to share a column piece I wrote for my college newspaper, the Algonquin Times, last semester about my anxieties in high school and how the film The Perks of Being a Wallflower (review) helped me get through it. I also just [...]
Released: July 5, 2013. Directed by: Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. Starring: Sam Rockwell, Steve Carell, Toni Collette. Runtime: 103 min. As I'm sure you've been able to tell; I love coming-of-age movies.

Release Date: June 7, 2013. Director: Jordan Vogt-Roberts. Stars: Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, Moises Arias. Runtime: 95 min. Coming-of-age movies are such a commonplace in cinema, so it's a good thing I enjoy them.

Hi everyone, this is my post for the movies I'm most anticipating this month.

(I'm talking about you, GROWN UPS 2.) I'll be writing reviews about [...]

Hey everyone, guess what? I got my first publication in a local newspaper (the Orleans Star) last weekend! I forgot to tell you are, so it's better late than never. The review that got published is my review of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's practically the same as my original review (if you missed [...]
Skyfall raked in a majority of the dough this weekend, with $90 million (including Thursday's earnings)! It so deserved it, too, because it's just about one of the finest action films of the year, and it is generally one of the best of the year as well! And Lincoln took in an impressive $900, 000 at eleven theatres [...]
