The Bourne Legacy Searches for a Story, Michelle’s Review!
With the near collapse of the James Bond movie franchise I started to think that we don’t have enough super spies to rely on. We have the Mission Impossible series and the Bourne Series to compete with Bond. That’s it. While I love Ethan Hunt, The Bourne Series has never quite done it for […]
The Dark Knight Rises Closes the Epic in Style, but not without Flaws! Michelle’s Review
It is times like these when I sometimes hate being a critic. When I walked out of The Dark Knight Rises I was on an high, absolutely loving the film while overlooking some major flaws.

Rock of Ages is worth watching for Tom Cruise’s Amazing Performance, So Says Michelle.
I Want To Rock because Tom Cruise is Wanted. Dead or Alive! Ok, I can go on with my 80’s hair band references, but let’s not. But don’t stop believing that Rock of Ages is anything but awesome. Well, the original Broadway show, the movie is based on is amazing. Not so sure about this […]
