Movie Review: The Space Between Us (2017)

Somehow Hollywood continues to search for different outlets to convey young love at the box office. Sure, the goal is always the same in terms of tapping into the youth market by promoting yet another transparent teen weepie, but this time with The Space Between Us it’s among the stars.

Movie Review: Time to Choose (2015)

Climate change’s main drivers coincide with the main drivers of economic growth. We cannot have both, it seems. We do not get to preserve the Earth if we get to develop our economic prosperity in it.

Movie Review: Ratchet & Clank (2016)

In Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion, the surface of the Earth is laid barren due to an alien invasion. Tom Cruise stars as Jack Harper, a soldier sent to the surface to do inspections, partially for a reinhabitation; partially for straggler cleanup. The trailer from Universal Pictures offers a glimpse to the vast, desolate world and to…
