The Ultimate Life (Landon, Jr., 2013)

Last updated on: April 5, 2015 at 7:38 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

The Bourne Identity (Liman, 2002)

Last updated on: April 5, 2015 at 7:29 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

One of the more interesting moments in The Bourne Identity comes about a quarter of the way through the film. Franka Potente plays Marie Kreutz, a woman who has agreed to drive a stranger to Paris in exchange for $10,000 Read more

You’re Next (Wingard, 2013)

Last updated on: April 5, 2015 at 7:35 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

I'm glad I did, though, because it was a reminder (if I needed one), that nothing is as subjective in this world as what people of different backgrounds consider "normal." Read more
