Last year at Sundance, I caught a screening of Oren Moverman’s The Messenger (you can read my review here). In the chaos of the festival, I never really had the time to sit down and write out a decent review. Thankfully, my new found friend, and fellow cinephile, Justin, has written a much more [...]

Imagine that! Roland Emmerich did another epic end-of-the-world flick, starring semi-respectable actors, and boasting a huge budget! Doesn’t this schtick get old Mr. Emmerich?
