Movie Review – Flight Risk
—
Flight Risk directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, starts off a bit shaky but really picks up steam as it goes along. Some people have called it a bad movie, but I had a great time watching it! Wahlberg gives a strong performance, but the real standout for me was Topher Grace. He…

Movie Review – The Brutalist
—
“No matter what people tell you, it is about the destination – not the journey!” To be sure, the journey of the main character’s (Laszlo Toth) life is filled with struggle, pain, and simply trying to “hang on” through unspeakable trials, tribulations, and tragedies. This movie is a modern-day epic that tests the patience of…
