Sisters: Movie Review

Spends too much time on the big jokes and loses the better human elements.

Sisters is the big screen pairing of SNL vets Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and a movie that appears to be made for that sole reason. You can see both acting ridiculously immature, both trying on a myriad of clothes, from sexy to just non-sense and back to sexy, and both hitting on men, successfully and unsuccessfully. But it’s missing the smarter satirical edge of their small screen shows, the nugget of truth in every-woman Liz Lemon and the charming optimism of Leslie Knope.		2015 Directed by: Jason Moore Screenplay by: Paula Pell Starring: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler

Brooklyn: Movie Review

Beautiful, well-written, powerful

Brooklyn is a beautiful and simply powerful film about life, love, adulthood and home. It’s a story of immigration that should resonate with everybody. How one girl chose her home, and made it her home and the home for her family and future generations to come. It’s a story of loneliness, true love, and the pull of familiarity. It’s a singular story, that revels in it’s simplicity, to reveal grander implications and a universality to connect everyone.		2015 Directed by: John Crowley Screenplay by: Nick Hornby Based on the novel by Colm Toibin Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson
