May 8, 20089/10
Tom Hanks stars as Captain John Miller in this World War 2 epic. The movie starts out during the invasion of Normandy. This is one of the most realistic, gripping scenes I’ve ever seen in a war movie. It really spares nothing in portraying the violence of war. After this Miller is sent to lead a [...]

Schindler’s List
May 5, 20089.5/10
Schindler’s List is one of the most moving movies I have ever experienced. It is the story of Oskar Schindler a war profiteer, and member of the nazi party that saves 1100 Polish Jews during the war. It is a super powerful, tragic story and the movie tells it well. Everything about the movie is amazing. [...]

Orange County
April 14, 20086/10
Orange County like its main character wants to be more than it really is. The main character Shaun (Colin Hanks) succeeds but the movie itself does not get much outside of being a dumb teen comedy without much comedy. It tries to blend comedy with drama and comes out as movie that is just lacking. Shaun is a regular [...]
