Insurgent (2015)

It seems as though all I have been doing for the past few weeks is watching films starring Shailene Woodley. I was forced by a friend to sit through a second viewing of The Fault In Our Stars (a film that I really did not like), and subsequently caught her starring role in White Bird…

Home (2015)

For as long as I can remember, DreamWorks has played third fiddle to the unstoppable forces of cinematic nature that are Disney and Pixar.
