Review: Pitch Perfect (2012)


The first time I saw the trailer for this film, I had my doubts on what Pitch Perfect was trying to be. On one hand, it seemed like it was making fun of the "glee craze" and on the other, it seemed like it was taking itself a bit too seriously. Having now seeing it, I can say it falls somewhere in the middle of parodying the style as well as trying to be its own endearing glee story. To sum it up into one statement, this is the singing version of Bring It On.

Review: Young Adult (2011)


In a time where quirky characters and anti-heroes are cherished, Charlize Theron's performance in Young Adult rises to the plate in delivering an endearing unlikeable character. From wanting to swoon a married man with a baby to insulting the crippled at every chance, this film managed to create a story where you actually wanted to root for such a lead.
