Struck By Lightning:

A Good Start

I was surprised when, Struck by Lightning, the movie I have been eagerly awaiting for nearly a year now, received mixed critiques, simply because I had faith that Glee Actor and Singer, Chris Colfer, who released his first book, The Land of Stories, would not write, produce, and act in a movie that I would identify as ‘mediocre’. Well, let’s just say that Colfer proved me right. I was simply...[Read More]

worthy production

As a huge Broadway fan, and a person who is addicted to Les Misérables to the point that I have watched nearly every version of it, it was only natural that I watched the movie upon release; going into the theatre, I was worried that the film wouldn’t meet my extremely high expectations, fortunately for me, they crossed them by far! Tom Hooper successfully achieved changing only tiny bits to maintain the musical’s WOW factor. The prodigy begins with Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe flawlessly performing their rendition of, Look down, filmed with the optimum props that are nearly guaranteed to make you look up, with surprise, just when you were about to pop your popcorn open. From there every scene...[Read More]
