Hotel Transylvania 2 Movie Review
It was littered with mildly funny gags referencing classic horror films, blended with a modern yet ironically timeless grrrl power theme about a grown-up daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez), rebelling against her old fashioned father, Dracula (Adam Sandler), for her right to make her own way in the big bad world. Drac also has to learn to accept Mavis' choice of partner; in this case, a normal human, Jonathan (Andy Samberg). Hotel Transylvania 2 goes one step further in this ethos and this turns ...

The Night Before Movie Review
We have a tradition around these parts in putting a concentrated effort into scaring off our guests with warped movie playlists, eggnog with only booze and no nog and a black and yellow Christmas tree (a left over cinema display from Seinfeld’s grand folly, Bee Movie). Every year we add to the Kringle cruel collection but it’s been years since a movie this f&$%ed up has joined the mad menagerie.
The Night Before has just about everything to guaranty holiday good cheer, drugs, ...

Alex & Eve Interview
Your performance was very well nuanced and your comic timing was excellent, how comfortable does comedy come to you?
“Thank you. Acting in comedy is fairly new to me. I love watching comedies so it was very exciting to finally be a part of one. In this film in particular I was playing more of the straight character with my family and students providing most of the comedy. I had to represent a normal point of view for the audience to relate to and for the other characters to bounce off. ...
Man Up Competition
Nancy (Lake Bell), is done with dating.
10 times bitten, 100 times shy, she's exhausted by the circus.

It's going to take a night of pretending to be someone else for Nancy to finally Man Up and be her painfully honest, awesomely unconventional self... but will Jack also Man Up, and be able to get over her duplicity? Best just to let the ...

The Western at GoMA
