54 (1998) – A dull mess of a film with no stand-out performances to redeem it. (In fact, most of them are just plain terrible.) It’s about the owner of Studio 54, so it should have been an interesting story, but I found myself so unable to care about any of the characters or what was happening to them. Apparently the film was severely chopped … Continue reading Modern movies in December

About Time (2013) – I love this film. LOOOOVED it. It mixes romantic comedy with touching family drama and explores the theme of appreciating every day you’re given in life. The romance never gets too sappy or overtakes the film’s larger themes about the human experience. The film is funny, touching, heartfelt. Authentic characters are portrayed by a solid cast. This is one of the … Continue reading Modern movies in November

Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003) – My sister recommended this one to me after she watched it on Netflix and found it fascinating. I didn’t know much about Aileen Wuornos before watching it. I’ve seen bits and pieces of “true crime” TV specials about her, but have never read extensively about her case or seen the popular Hollywood version of her … Continue reading Modern movies in October
