Nate’s Two Cents?
This movie was surprisingly better than I thought it would be! I sat down and watched it the other night and found it quite fun. The voice cast is great and has so many familiar talents. If you’re a fan of really dumb comedy this should be up your alley. It’s not a great movie but it’s a fun watch if you’re looking to pass the time.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Domhnall Gleeson, Mark Hamill, Gwendoline Christie, Oscar Isaac, Kenny Baker, Anthony Daniels, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong’o, Max von Sydow

What’s it about?
“The Star Wars saga continues with this seventh entry — the first under the Walt Disney Co. umbrella. The film will act as the start of a new trilogy set after the events of Return of the Jedi. J.J. Abrams directs from a script by Michael Arndt.” – Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Nate’s Two Cents?
Last December the moment everyone had impatiently waited for finally arrived. The new Star Wars film from J.J. Abrams was finally released and revived fans’ hope in the franchise. The Force Awakens had all the right stuff, between characters we all know and love and more practical effects and settings that made the movie more connectable to the audience. The movie may not have been the best Star Wars movie made, but it was the Star Wars movie the fans needed to give them faith in the franchise after Lucas almost destroyed it with the prequels. This is the movie buying event of the year so make sure you go pick up a copy wherever they’re available!!

Tumbledown

“Small town journalist Hannah (Rebecca Hall) has been struggling to write the biography of her late husband, an acclaimed musician with a devoted following, while taking refuge with quirky, protective Maine locals. But things change when she meets Andrew (Jason Sudeikis), a brash, smart-alecky New York academic with an obsession for tragic musicians and a different take on her husband. Though Hannah is skeptical of Andrew’s motives, the unlikely pair strike up a deal to collaborate on the book, forcing them to confront truths about themselves and the possibility that the next chapter in their lives may involve each other.” – Rotten Tomatoes

The Hallow

“Deep within the darkness of secluded forest land in rural Ireland dwells an ancient evil. Feared by the nearby superstitious villagers as cursed creatures who prey upon the lost, their secrets have been kept from civilization and remain on their hallowed ground. But when a conservationist from London moves in with his wife and infant child in order to survey the land for future construction, his actions unwittingly disturb the horde of demonic forces. Alone in a remote wilderness, he must now ensure his family’s survival from their relentless attacks.” – IFC Midnight
