Director Christopher Nolan is a perfectionist, and the majority of his films show this.

The 21 disc set contains Nolan’s […]

Probably my personal favorite out of the filmography of Christopher Nolan (so far) would have to be Inception. The melding of science fiction, dreamscapes, and a bone rattling score as just the tip of why. Having a film that literally leaves the ending up to the viewer is something few writers and directors have the *ahem* […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Back in 2012 Pitch Perfect showed up on the scene during the height of the High School Musical and Glee teen singing craze of films. What was most novel about it was that it was fresh, smartly written (at least as far as most 21st century comedies tend to go), had some fun […]

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle is a film I believe the majority of fans of the original didn’t want.
