#REVIEW: “BEAUTIFUL CREATURES”
What makes Beautiful Creatures stand-out in a crowded field of Young Adult Fiction Adaptions isn't its immensely talented Cast, nor is it that Dark Fantasy of a Love Story, which Women of all ages have been unable to resist with the recent successes of The Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Warm Bodies. What makes this Richard LaGravenese Film so highly-enjoyable is the fact that it is self-aware and unafraid to take a few risks by making us laugh.
At the center of Beautiful Creatures is ...

#REVIEW: “SIDE EFFECTS”
One of the most thrilling rides you'll experience at the Movies in 2013 fortunately comes early in the year for those of us who have been - pardon the pun - going crazy waiting to see it. Auteur Director Steven Soderbergh and longtime Writing Collaborator Scott Z. Burns (The Informant, Contagion) by no means make Side Effects an easy guessing game for those of us who love our Psychological- Thrillers.
With Martin's (Channing Tatum) release from Prison forthcoming, anxieties are high ...

#REVIEW – “A HAUNTED HOUSE”
Imitation is the sincerest form of Flattery, but Parody is the ultimate proof you've made it. Since its debut in 2009, Paranomal Activity has changed the face of Film with Moviegoers time and time again unable to resist the authentic feel of "found-footage" Horrors. To date, the Franchise worldwide has grossed over $718 million and it would appear with the demand plateauing for Films of the Genre, this has paved the way for a secondary Market. After a v. successful debut at the Box Office ...
