All by Lawrence Von Haelstrom

The greatest success of Universal's new Minions movie? The negligible amount of funding that its success will contribute to the general infrastructure of the city of Los Angeles. Lawrence Von Haelstrom with the review. 

On its release, Boyhood was met with near unanimous praise. Six months later, perhaps not accustomed to outbursts of sincerity, it seems we’ve collectively become a little embarrassed by our exuberance. That shouldn’t be necessary. Boyhood is a singular, beautiful achievement that will long stand as a classic.

In the week following the release of the film Star Trek Into Darkness, I wrote a long essay comparing and contrasting the two Star Trek IIs. My thesis was that, compared to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek Into Darkness was a study in experience over engagement and was ultimately meaningless and forgettable.
