12 Years a Slave is based on the autobiography of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped and forced into slavery for over a decade. This moving story was adapted for the screen by John Ridley and the movie was directed by Steve McQueen. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Fassbender, and Brad Pitt lead a cast jam packed with Hollywood heavyweights.

Lincoln - Movie Review

In the hands of a director as highly regarded as Steven Spielberg, you know that a movie about the 16th President of the United States of America would be in more than capable hands. When you add the always amazing Daniel Day Lewis in the role of Mr. Lincoln to the equation, then you are bound to get something truly special.

Lawless (2012) - Movie Review

I will be the first to tell you that I am not a fan of Shia LaBeouf. To be honest, I'm not even sure how to pronounce his name. When I saw that he was going to play the starring role in a movie that features Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, and Tom Hardy my first thought was that I might get to see Bane kick the crap out of Sam Witwicky for two hours. No such luck.
