The Wolverine

Posted on January 11, 2015 by Morgan R. Lewis

The Social Network

Posted on November 10, 2014 by Morgan R. Lewis

2010 Best Picture Nominee I have to admit that when I first heard about David Fincher’s film The Social Network, my opinion was one of extreme skepticism. A movie about the creation of Facebook? Could that actually be interesting? For … Continue reading →

The Tree of Life

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Morgan R. Lewis
