The Bling Ring: Movie Review

Eventually finds the root of all evil, at least in the heart of teenage girls living in the suburbs of fame and fortune.

“The Bling Ring” starts out slowly; trying to grab your attention with sports cars, night clubs and expensive clothes. But that’s a superficial attraction – it only works on a particular group of people. Meet Rebecca (Katie Chang), Marc (Israel Broussard), Chloe (Claire Julien), Nicki (Emma Watson) and Sam (Taissa Farmiga), the bling ring crew, who rob the homes of Hollywood’s rich and famous.		2013 Directed by: Sofia Coppola Screenplay by: Sofia Coppola Based on the article by Nancy Jo Sales Starring: Katie Chang, Israel Broussard and Emma Watson

The Kings of Summer: Movie Review

Funny, amusing and takes just a few simple mis-steps on the way to adulthood.

The Kings of Summer is your average coming-of-age film for teenage boys. Boys act like men; fathers act like boys and by the end they all will shave. They just have to survive girls, the wild and snakes. Does it sound like the earlier indie hit of the year Mud? That’s because it’s the same movie, just a little more comedic, simple and a little less revolutionary.		2013 Directed by: Jordan Vogt-Roberts Screenplay by: Chris Galletta Starring: Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso and Moises Arias

The Iceman: Movie Review

The Iceman lives up to the name but falls a little short on the potential of the story.

“The Iceman” is Richard Kuklinski (Michael Shannon) the mob hit-man who was responsible for 100 murders. It’s an interesting story and it’s a true one. The film knows that and uses all the facts to move the story note-by-note. That unfortunately makes the film slightly less interesting than it otherwise could be. The Iceman is so nicknamed because of his emotionless attitude to killing.		2012 Directed by: Ariel Vromen Screenplay by: Morgan Land, Ariel Vroman Starring: Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder
