January 5, 2014

The words “Some of this actually happened” are the very first thing you will see upon watching “American Hustle”. If you think about it, it’s a brilliant way to open a fictional biopic: it’s quirky, it’s dry and it’s very upfront. In many ways, “Some of this...

Here we are, at the end of the semester and nearing the end of the year. In a few weeks the internet will be bombarded with “The Best ___ of 2013” lists, so I figured I’d beat the rush, and get my list out of the way early. Naturally, because 2013 isn’t quite finished...

I’ve been putting off writing this article for as long as I can, but every week when it comes time to choose what movie I’m going to review, I find myself putting this movie at the top of the list. The reasons as to why I’ve been so slow to write this are numerous. For...

“Robot And Frank:” Sci-fi independence

Eddie Sheehy, Lifestyles Columnist
November 14, 2013

I love independent films, and I love sci-fi. Unfortunately for me, these two types of movies almost never meet. It’s a logistics problem, I know, sci-fi has a tendency to rely heavily on special effects, foreign landscapes and aliens which is virtually impossible to do on an...
