David: The End
Ladies and gentlemen, the end is uckingfay nigh. As I lie here, viciously separated from my intestines, I take comfort in knowing that in the end, I am become death. Indeed, my final enemy author has succumbed to the stopping power of 12-gauge face-removal, and the doomsday satellite happens to be warming up as I … Continue reading
Chad: The Shawshank Redemption
How could anyone not like The Shawshank Redemption? The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont, is the twenty-year story of a man named Andy Dufresne (played by Tim Robbins, in what is probably his best role ever) who was unjustly framed for the murder of his cheating wife and her lover based on circumstantial evidence. … Continue reading
Caryn: All-Time Favorite
Picking a favorite movie can be a tall order. There are so many things to consider: the plot, the acting, the directing, the cinematography, and the scripting all work together to make a film, and rarely is there a film that is the best in every one of these areas.

City of God is a slow paced, somewhat horrifying true story of how the slums of Rio de Janeiro evolve over the course of a couple of decades. This indie film … Continue reading

They contain the ability to deviate from the traditional conventions of film since they typically aren’t intended to function as cash cows, yet suffer from poor quality because all of the talented people prefer to make money. All in all, I do enjoy watching indie films sparingly, … Continue reading
Caryn: The Worth of the Small Story
I don’t spend a lot of time watching independent films, so when I pick one up, I want to be sure that it’s going to be worth it. Though I’ve ended up disappointed a few times, I’ve also found that indie writers and directors often address questions and topics that mainstream movies are afraid to, … Continue reading
Cynthia: Favorite Indie
Indies tend to be unusual due to the budget constraints of small film production, but what drives Indie film towards strange is the sheer campiness of the subject matter, which makes Hollywood want to veer off the road like a flat tire. Some campy ones I watched this weekend were “The Rum Diaries,” and “Midnight … Continue reading
