The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : The amazingly entangled Spider-Man

Blue is the Warmest Color (2013) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : This Girl’s Life
Although it has been mainly known for its very frank depiction of sex scenes since its premiere at the Cannes Film festival in this May, “Blue is the Warmest Color” is a lot more than that. This is a close, … Continue reading
Don Jon (2013) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : He has a problem… with Internet porn
