Film Review: "Bully" is a wake up call to action

“Bully,” the feature documentary directed by Lee Hirsch and co-written with Cynthia Lowen, is an alarming vision of the state of bullying in our schools across America today. Part documentary and part advocacy, it is true wake-up call to action to address an issue that in recent years has seen too many of our youths take their own lives out of a sense of despair.

[Video Review] Stefanie Alleyne and Yahaira Pulino Discuss "A Separation"

Stefanie Alleyne

A classic tale of cause and effect, it's easy to understand why the Iranian film, A Separation has had endless global accolades (46 wins and 20 nominations) bestowed upon it in the past year. And, as this year's Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Film, this masterpiece's dexterity to mesmerize forges on. Flawlessly written and directed by Asghar Farhadi, the film succeeds on every level. Suspenseful. Gripping. All of the performances here are so seamless that you will wonder if you are observing real life instead of fiction.  Read more >

About Me: 

Born and raised in the midwest, I currently live in New York City. I have spent the last fifteen years working in broadcast news as an on-air broadcast designer. I received my Bachelor's of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute and my Master's of Science from New York University. I love traveling the globe and interacting with people of the world.

I have created my own tv and web series called, "let's talk film," www.letstalkfilm.com where today's women gets a chance to have their voices heard about the latest movie releases. Historically, men have always been in a position to do movie reviews. It is past time for us to hear our more of own voices in vibrant discussions about film, current and past.

I also juggle an online collection of t-shirts, bang! bang! graphic t-shirts. My blog, bangbangflip.com, spotlights noteworthy discoveries that illustrate great inspiration for t-shirt design and beyond.
