The Holdovers Movie Review

Unpopular with both students and faculty, teacher Paul Hunham (Paul Giamatti) is just such a man. Prickly to the extreme, his solitary life gives him little joy but he knows no better. Even being an accomplished teacher at a known college gives him little respite from the chip on his shoulder.   //     When circumstances align he is forced to spend time with Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa) a very bright student with an equal chip. The film’s main sense of direction ...

San Andreas Movie Review

Why are there never any people that spill out of the buildings that get completely destroyed? They were warned this time by Paul Giamatti to get the hell out of Dodge. Why is it always the daughter that steps up to be the hero and not the son? Boys don’t look as good in wet t-shirts. Why is it almost always California that gets destroyed in disaster films? It’s halfway there already. What would it be like to hang ten on a giant tsunami? Good in a small emergency craft, not so ...
