I may as well start with a formal introduction. I go by Allison, not Allie, unless your name is Grandpa or Coach Hicks. I’m not entirely sure what my aim is for writing this, but I genuinely hope you discover an interest in what I have to say. So again, my name is Allison, and I talk to strangers. ... Read more »
Film review: “Premium Rush”
Robert Shanholtz, Online Managing Editor

While the plot is not nearly as deep as the last few Joseph Gordon-Levitt movies (“50/50”), “Premium Rush” gave me exactly what the title promised. Two hours of adrenaline, genuine humor and fun. The story is simple. Daredevil bike messenger Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is given 90 minutes to... Read more »

So many books that are put on the silver screen disappoint their readers (I’m... Read more »

Like a crude piece of artwork, Project X’s trailer enthralled me to go see the movie but left me wanting to wash my eyes out with soap afterwards. Directed by The Hangover’s Nima Nourizadeh, Project X is about one huge rave party that takes place in someone’s backyard and all the mayhem that is... Read more »

“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close,” (ELIC) does an “incredible” illustration of all the thoughts and feelings an individual sadly goes through after the loss of a loved one, in this case, a young boy’s parent. Directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot and The Hours) ELIC is an extraordinarily... Read more »
