‘Pretty Little Liars’ Returns for Winter

One of my favorite guilty pleasures is back on TV! No spoilers… When I first heard about the plot from friends I scoffed- four girls sleuthing around to figure out who killed their Regina George-esque friend? So simple and ridiculous.

The Hunger Games Mockingjay: Part I

Last night I finally saw part one of Mockingjay! Jennifer Lawrence basically cries in every scene, reprising the role of Katniss Everdeen.

The musical starring Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt (to name…

‘Selma’ Marches Into Theaters on Christmas

Earlier this week, I got the chance to screen Selma. Today it’s out in select theaters and I’m predicting that the Ava Duvernay-directed film is 2015’s Best Picture winner. The movie is brilliant. It’s a powerful depiction of the obstacles for African Americans to gain voting rights in the 1960’s, (even after it was legalized),…
