Movie review: Crazy Heart
By Megan Carroll Scott Cooper’s directorial debut, Crazy Heart, is a tired storyline that is only brought back to life through a spectacular performance by Jeff Bridges. Crazy Heart is based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Thomas Cobb and includes a phenomenal score produced and written by T-Bone Burnett. Bridges plays... »
The Lovely Bones
By Megan Carroll Remember your grandmother’s or mother’s patchwork quilt? All those random pieces would come together to create a beautiful visual pattern. Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones looks like one of those quilts, but feels more like an awkward patchwork. Based on the beloved novel by Alice Sebold, we take a journey through the eyes... »
Nine: Movie Review
By Megan Carroll Nine is truly a spectacle of the eyes and ears for everyone.

By Megan Carroll With the holidays just around the corner, we’re all trying to save our pennies, so in the spirit of things I decided to cruise downtown to the $1.00 kiosk and see what I could find. There was a pretty good selection of films there and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw... »
Cirque du Freak fails miserably
By Megan Carroll Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant sucked the life right out of me. It was one of the worst film’s I’ve seen this year, hands down. All I wanted to do was get up and actually enjoy the rest of my Sunday, but I took one for the team. The series of books... »

Whip It
by Megan Carroll Whip It; Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut is a feisty, female-driven action comedy. Juno’s Ellen Page stars as Bliss Cavendar, a young woman trying to find acceptance within her family and break free of the bonds of her small-town life. Enter the rough and tumble world of roller derby—the sport that brings... »
District 9: Movie Review
By Megan Carroll Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 should be viewed on several levels. On one level, it is stock science fiction complete with shrimp –like crustaceans that lope across the screen. On another level, it is a scathing look at contemporary themes that affect our world everyday—greed, conspiracy, oppression and racism. The two complement each... »
