Moon – A Movie Review
I’ve been meaning to watch Moon for a really, really long time. (After all, it came out in 2009.) For some reason, I never knew quite enough about it to warrant devoting an entire evening. Recently, I saw a list of the top science fiction movies on Netflix. I can’t remember what website I saw…

1917 – A Movie Review
1917 proved to be an amazing experience. I heard the film was special because it was made to look like a single sequence, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. If you’re unfamiliar with the plot, two soldiers are given orders during World War I to let a commander know that he…
