Review: LIMITLESS

At one point in Limitless a character mentions, “If I don’t keep moving forward, it felt like I might explode”. It seems the whole movie feels the exact same way. And when I left the theater, so did I. Like a good thriller Limitless keeps moving forward and it doesn’t stop for one second to look back. If you missed something you've missed it. So, it is a good thing the movie captures your attention effectively as it does while your eyes and mind indulge in one of the most pulpy thrillers in a long time.

Review: THE LUCKY ONES

"No, thank you."

What a perfect way to spin to the other side of an idea, and what a perfect line to sum up Neil Burger's, The Lucky Ones. It's a simple movie, filled to the brim with heart, humor, and, if you can spot it, poetry.

The Lucky Ones tells the story of three soldiers on medical leave from the war: Colee Dunn (Rachel McAdams), Fred Cheaver (Tim Robbins), and T.K. Poole (Michael Peña). When JFK Airport is shut down due to blackouts, Cheaver offers to drive Colee and T.K. back to his hometown of Louisville, so they can catch a flight out of there. When the drive ends up continuing to Las Vegas, the rest is a fantastically acted story of three "lucky" strangers.
