Summary and Review[]
Gravity[]
“ Gravity is the new film starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. It was directed by some foreign guy I've never heard of ... so it must be good, right? Gravity tells the story of US astronauts aboard the space shuttle who encounter space debris and everything gets destroyed. It's a struggle for survival as Clooney and Sandra Bollock try to survive floating around in orbit in their space boots. So far, Gravity has had astronomical success at the box office, which isn't a surprise because it's a great film, but it also has two of the biggest stars in the universe. In this guy's opinion, Gravity has relaunched Sandra Bullock's career! In fact, Gravity is so good, it'll keep you in your seat ... the whole movie?
—Mike Stoklasa”
Carrie[]
“ Carrie is a 1976 horror film directed by Brian DePalma. It's based on a novel by Stephen King and stars Sissy Spacek in the titular role, an awkward high schooler who discovers that she has telekinetic powers. [...] Despite the resistance of her overbearing abusive mother, Carrie decides to attend her high school prom, but once there, a mean prank played on her by Nancy Allen and John Travolta pushes her over the edge. Also, they just remade it. —Jay Bauman”
