Big Miracle
by Jane Wangersky February 17th, 2012 | Drama, Family, Movie Reviews
In 1988, "going viral" was not in anyone's vocabulary, but it was happening anyway. Big Miracle tells the (fictionalized) story of a filler item on the news that year that caught the attention of the whole world.
Adam Carlson (John Krasinski), a TV reporter from Anchorage, Alaska, is wrapping up a series of fluff stories in remote Point Barrow when he notices some whales out of place. There are three of them, a family of California Greys, trapped near the town because the ice is unseasonably heavy, and there aren't enough places for them to surface and breathe on the

I was hopeful that Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close would be as moving as the trailers portrayed, and this movie surely did meet that goal. Throughout the film, it was easy to feel the pain, frustration, and love that each character felt.
Based on the novel of the same title, this movie is the story of Oskar Schell, a 9 year old boy who has lost his father in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Before his father's death,

The Grey took me by surprise. There is so much more to this movie than meets the eye. I was expecting a fairly straightforward horror/survival movie, which is what The Grey is on the surface. To my surprise and delight, this film goes far deeper than that.
