Independent Films, Movie Reviews, Interviews, Film Profiles

Two big films are opening this weekend, we have “Young Adult” starring Charlize Theron and the sequel “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.” Which one is my pick of the week? Take a look!

“Young Adult”

Mavis Gary, a writer of teen literature, returns to her small hometown to relive her glory days and attempt to reclaim her happily married high school sweetheart. When returning home proves more difficult than she thought, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate who hasn't quite gotten over high school either.

“Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows”

There is a new criminal mastermind at large - Professor Moriarty - and not only is he Sherlock Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.
