The misadventures of Alice In Wonderland
By Megan Carroll I am in love with everything Tim Burton. For me, anything the man touches turns to gold; which is why the next few paragraphs were some of the hardest to write. Tim Burton’s take on Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, lacks a cohesive storyline and relies too heavily on 3-D... »
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.

Movie Review: New Moon is a miss
By Megan Carroll For days now I have been pondering whether I liked this film or not. It is like one of those Law & Order episodes where you are left with both sides equally argued and a sinking feeling of still being unsure or undecided. By the end of this film, I was a... »
MOVIE REVIEW: Up
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... »

500 Days of Summer; surprisingly original
By Megan Carroll Romantic comedies are a guilty pleasure of mine. I don’t often share that with many folks, because I more often than not am disappointed with them on screen. Shallow, vapid, and silly come to mind. But after seeing 500 Days of Summer I felt a need to “come out... »
