Man of Steel Review

     Since Superman's conception in 1933, he has seen many adventures, journeys, and reincarnations. He has leaped tall buildings in a single bound, flown faster than a speeding bullet, and even turned back time to save those he loved. However, today our Man of Steel faces an even bigger challenge, rebirth. Zack Snyder's new film attempts to reinvent Superman,  and ultimately bring him into the new era, but is he successful? Find out after the jump.

The Place Beyond the Pines Review

     The Place Beyond the Pines is a new drama that explores the complexities of relationships, and what it truly means to be family. Directed by Derek Cianfrance, the film stars Ryan Gosling as 'Handsome Luke' an amalgam of macho cliches, who finds out that he has a child with past lover Romina (played by Eva Mendes), and sets out to provide for his child through any means necessary. While the film offers a promising and powerful cast, can all the stories and characters come together into something meaningful? I give my full review after the jump.
