Even on his first film, Spielberg’s genius was on full display. ‘The Sugarland Express’ (1974)
A former 26 Year-Old Reviews a former 26 Year-old’s Theatrical Debut. This director really likes action I thought as I watched The Sugarland Express. There’s a generous amount of car chases in this film considering how anti-violent the characters are. You have a Police Captain leading the chase that hasn’t shot anyone in his 18…
TƎИƎT REVIEW | “ИO⅃AИ MƎƎTS ENTROPY “

After having watched the original Jurassic Park and The Lost World, I read the much darker respective Michael Crichton novels….
What did you think? Need For Speed: Official Trailer
And another video game rolls in. As a fan of both mediums I am cautiously optimistic for this title as the trailer surprisingly has some style to it (generic looking title card aside). Its well cut and sound mixed, doesn’t give too much away, good music choice. Most importantly It has momentum! As far as…
