The Drama

☆☆☆☆½ What wedding doesn’t come with a little bit of drama? Certainly not Charlie and Emma’s in Kristoffer Borgli’s The Drama. Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya) seem like the perfect couple. Their meet-cute may have been awkward, but it was undeniably wholesome; they have a tight-knit group of friends and a wedding just around […]

’I guess it’s because I used to be a brother. And now i’m not a brother anymore.’ This post is a little bit delayed because I actually saw The Iron Claw at the end of January but went on a little holiday! The Iron Claw is inspired by the true story of the Von Erich […]
