Review: Molly’s Game

Posted on January 8, 2018 by adamryen

Molly’s Game. This movie has a lot going for it, including Jessica Chastain with a very complicated role and giving screenwriter Aaron Sorkin his first directorial effort. If you don’t recognize Sorkin’s name, he’s responsible for writing films like The … Continue reading →

Review: Finding Dory

Posted on June 17, 2016 by adamryen

Thor: The Dark World. While I enjoyed Thor when it came out a few years back, it definitely wasn’t my favorite. The environments felt too computer-generated (as did the frost giant villains) and Thor spent most of the movie without … Continue reading →
