At the Movies: Oscars Edition February 23rd, 2011 Posted by Hunter Wilson

A little over three weeks ago the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) announced the nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards.

Final Destination 3D: Movie Review September 25th, 2009 Posted by Hunter Wilson

Can you defeat death? Can you escape your fate? In this the fourth installment of the Final Destination franchise, these questions are once again posed to a group of unsuspecting college kids and those around them.

A Perfect Getaway: Movie Review September 25th, 2009 Posted by Hunter Wilson

This suspense filled drama took my breath away. Where most movie plots are entirely predictable, this cannot be said of The Perfect Getaway. With more twists and turns than the path taken by the newlywed main characters during their honeymoon hike to an idyllic location, you are left guessing until the last second.
