The East (2013)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 7th, 2013 - Film Festivals Movie Reviews

It’s a venal shell game where grey overwhelms all of the black and white ideals Sarah originally held, making her ultimate destination all the more emotionally affecting in the process.

The Internship (2013)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 7th, 2013 - Movie Reviews

But for the most part I enjoyed The Internship, and even the stuff that made my dander rise didn’t do so enough to make sitting through any single part of this comedy anything close to a chore.

The Prey (2011)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 7th, 2013 - Movie Reviews

The director juggles all of the aspects of the scenario with confidence, none of the three main stories transpiring within the confines of the film losing their focus, all of them coming together beautifully during The Prey’s energetic climax.

The Purge (2013)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 7th, 2013 - Movie Reviews

Say what you will about either movement but the heart and soul of Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party did bring about conversations about wealth disparity and cultural (and corporate) privilege in this country, those ideas taken to a grotesquely unsettling extreme in the world imagined by DeMonaco.

Violet & Daisy (2011)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 7th, 2013 - Movie Reviews

There’s much of Violet & Daisy I did respond to, large portions that struck the kind of chord I unapologetically responded to.

After Earth (2013)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 31st, 2013 - Movie Reviews

Without a doubt, this big budget high-concept science fiction spectacle is Summer 2013’s first unmitigated disaster, and seeing how anyone involved creatively could walk away from this calamity unscathed is way beyond me.

The Kings of Summer (2013)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 31st, 2013 - Film Festivals Movie Reviews

The Kings of Summer shouldn’t work, the fact that it does a pleasant summertime cinematic revelation I couldn’t have been more thankful for.

Now You See Me (2013)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 31st, 2013 - Movie Reviews

In the end, Now You See Me isn’t anything to get worked up about one way or the other, and while I’d never recommend the watching of it I have this sneaky suspicion it will play rather well on Cable television for viewers with short attention spans and other things on their minds.
