Miss in Her Teens: Movie Review

A 1700s play complete with Old English dialogue and antiquated situations.

“Miss in Her Teens” is an 18th Century set British production of the same-titled 1747 play by David Garrick. It’s a comedy about the young lady Biddy Belair (Tori Hart) and her many suitors. Her betrothed is off to war but there’s a whole bounty of men fighting for her affections. Thus begins a 1700s comedy of affairs driven by light-hearted humour of selfishness, rumours and misunderstandings.		2014 Directed by: Matthew Butler Screenplay by: Matthew Butler, Tori Hart Starring: Tori Hart, Adam Alexander

Better Living Through Chemistry: Movie Review

An amusing full-circle story that detours through many different genres.



Advertised as a comedy, “Better Living Through Chemistry” might seem like the next “The Wolf of Wall Street” with Sam Rockwell having an affair and a joyride involving sex and drugs, lots of drugs. But curiously, the idyllic small-town opening and Rockwell’s depressed, every-man Doug Varney suggests that the movie is actually about a mid-life crisis taking place in a superficial suburban community.		2014 Directed by: Geoff Moore, David Posamentier Screenplay by: Geoff Moore, David Posamentier Starring: Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Michelle Monaghan and Ken Howard

Date and Switch: Movie Review

A "bro" and "dude" take on a familiar story making it sweet and funny with a simple originality.

“Date and Switch” stars Nicholas Braun and Hunter Cope as best friends Michael and Matty who have made a pact that they’re going to lose their virginity before their high school prom. What sounds like the gazillionth film in a long line of “American Pie” rip-offs luckily has a refreshing twist when Matty comes out and tells his best friend that he’s gay.		2014 Directed by: Chris Nelson Screenplay by: Alan Yang Starring: Nicholas Braun and Hunter Cope
