Movie Review: Blue Jasmine

There are so many thoughts rushing through Jasmine’s head that she can’t help but spout them out. She needs to voice her story, needs to say it even if nobody wants to hear it, or even if there is nobody around to hear it at all. Blue Jasminethe latest film by prolific filmmaker Woody Allen, tracks the scrambled thoughts of a thoroughly broken woman who tries to pull her life back together.

Movie Review: The Wolverine

When is a super hero movie not a super hero movie? Does the inclusion of characters with strange and supernatural powers automatically consign a film to the increasingly dominant sub-genre mixing the most potent aspects of the science fiction and action categories, or is there wiggle room for a film to defy the tropes of the comic book super hero film as popularized by Marvel and DC in recent years?

The Wolverine evokes those questions despite the comic book origins of its characters and their super human abilities, because at its core it is an action film with a theme that questions the nature of mortality and immortality.
