Philly Film Festival Review: “Cheap Thrills”

If you’re interested in seeing tons of fake blood on a day that’s not Halloween, you should check out “Cheap Thrills.” For anyone else, this film is simply not worth it. Craig (Pat Healy) is a new father who is down on his luck.

Review: "Carrie"

It’s no surprise that the latest interpretation of Stephen King’s “Carrie” comes after a summer of superhero flicks like “Man of Steel” and “The Wolverine.” Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), who spends most of the movie developing her psychic powers while being ostracized by the popular high school crowd, could very well be the newest member of the X–men.

B–Roll: Wes Anderson, Puppet Auteur

We get it, Wes Anderson, you’re quirky. Your movies have a distinctive style. You pull talent from both the most obscure and most recognizable places and you’re a sucker for chase scenes set to wacky music.

Review: "A.C.O.D."

“A.C.O.D.” stands for adult child of divorce. If you hate marriage or are a child of divorce this might be a good movie for you, but my guess is, regardless of who you are, it will probably still be extremely mediocre. The movie focuses on Carter (Adam Scott), a seemingly well–adjusted adult who is still dealing with his parents’ fifteen–year old divorce.
