The Day IT All Began
I vividly remember being caught off guard by the keys of a piano being played while walking in front of my TV, I was 6 and I had not ever been drawn into a movie based off of the sound track before that time. I couldn’t believe that such pretty music was being played…
Goonies Never Say Die
The Goonies Movie Review The Goonies, to this day has a big influence on my life. Re-watching the cult-classic for this assignment was validation of that. “The Goonies never say die.” Some say the beginning starts out slow, but for me, I’m engaged from start to finish. Steven Spielberg begins with a man who is…
The March Sisters
The 1994 adaptation of Little Women Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, holds fond memories for me. I saw the movie when I was middle school aged and remember it as an inspiring tale Of young women growing, and finding their callings despite the adversaries against them. I remember strongly connecting with the…
The Dark Knight and Me

National Treasure Blog
Here is a movie that makes no apologies. It is a crowd pleaser that takes itself serious enough to convey strong emotions and situations yet never attempts to be a serious, edgy oscar-worthy film. With its blistering pace, fun puzzles, and historical pieces it appeals to anyone able to check their triple-hopped IPA’s at the…
Watchmen’s Visual Effects and View on Morality
Being a young teenager, I was drawn to the previews of Watchman because of the stunning visual effects, the violence, and the superhero aspect. I only hazily remember the storyline. I mainly remember the images of the superheroes that were not what mainstream superheroes are typically like. I also had a vivid memory of the…
Predator 1987
Like any kid I always wanted to do what I wasn’t supposed to do, eat what I wasn’t supposed to eat, and watch what I wasn’t supposed to watch. Having an older brother meant that I knew there was all sorts of cool movies and shows out there that the adults were watching, but my…
