Cinephile No. 560 "Hail, Caesar!"

"Hail, Caesar!" is so bad, I wouldn't even show up to a theatre where it is playing for fear it has somehow tainted the other movies. Which is disappointing, because with the star power behind this film I had high hopes. Though, I don’t fault the cast for this film, because they didn’t have much to work with in regards to a script. Sitting here writing this review, I am not sure I can succinctly tell you the plot to the movie. Something about communists, old Hollywood, and actors coming to save the day. All I know is I left my downtown Seattle theatre confused, disappointed, and disconnected from the characters on the screen (which is vital for any movie to be good).

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
