Midnight in Paris (2011)
Reviewed by: Jared

Woody Allen may be 76 but that doesn’t deter him from continuing his film career. With thirty-four films under his belt(not counting the films he didn’t direct but acted in), his films span six decades including the Best Picture Winner “Annie Hall”. Today, Woody Allen continues his streak with 2011’s “Midnight in Paris” as he delves into the gorgeous city of Paris and teaches us something about perspective and art. Read the full review.

Reviewed by: Brennan

"Inglourious Basterds” follows two story lines: a revenge story of a young Jewish-French girl Shoshanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent), whose family was killed on orders of Hans Landa (Christopher Waltz), and that of a group of Jewish-Americans known as the ‘Basterds’, whose job it is to terrorize and kill Nazis. Both stories develop independently and converge on one explosive, history-changing night at a movie theater owned by Shoshanna. Click here for the full review...







Melancholia (2011)
Reviewed by: Brennan

"Melancholia" tells the story about two sisters: Justine and Claire, and their mental instability. After an introduction of surreal, super-slow motion, mind-bogglingly beautiful shots, Part One: Justine begins. This first part is set at a luxurious, multimillion dollar estate, where Justine (played  brilliantly by Kirsten Dunst) is having her wedding party, organized by  her sister Claire. Click here for the full review...


The Artist (2011)
Reviewed by: Nolan

It's been a mere eighty-three years since a silent film last won Best Picture at the Academy Awards.  William Wellman's "Wings" achieved that honor in 1929, and today it remains the only Best Picture winner to not have been made with the benefit of sound.  I think its safe to say that in modern America, the vast majority of moviegoers have never seen a silent movie and probably have little desire to do so.  Sound has been ingrained into the movies, and into the minds of moviegoers, for nearly a century, and few would wish to go without it.  Click here for the full review...
