The Zero Theorem (2/10)
Terry Gilliam teaming up with Christopher Waltz and Tilda Swinton?! Bring on the next Twelve Monkeys! Oh boy... what a failure this movie is...
Pride (8/10)
There is a healthy sub-genre of British Cinema that celebrates the quirkiness of the Brits, their subcultures and their local communities. Combine that with a backdrop of economic hardship, an abundance of prejudice, and a
The Theory of Everything (8.5/10)

The Kings of Summer (7/10)
A quirky and sweet coming of age tale. It starts off a bit slowly, and there aren’t really any surprises or twists, but it is in the end simply a fun flick. Enjoy it for
