Review: Zero Charisma

It’s rare to see a movie that doesn’t portray geek & nerd stereotypes that Big Bang Theory has reinforced since its inception.

Review: Don Jon

Joseph Gordon-Levitt pulls the trifecta in Don Jon: writing, directing, and starring in a movie about a dude coming to grips with the vapid nature of his existence and the difference between love and what transpires in smut films. He finds that real sex doesn’t measure up to the fantasy of online pornography, where he
