The Girl on the Train (2016) Movie Review

October 19, 2016 Steve Baqqi

The Girl on the Train (2016) is a simple mystery movie based on a book by the same name, both  centering on the lives and extramarital affairs of three women and two men in Westchester County, New York. Rachael, (one of the aforementioned women) a divorced and lonely alcoholic, fantasizes about a gorgeous couple she sees while riding the train every day. The woman of that fantasy couple, Megan Hipwell, ends up missing. Amid her drunken blackouts and emotional frailties, Rachael ends up caught in a web of lies and illicit affairs as she struggles to find out the truth of Megan's disappearance.

Joy (2015) Movie Review

January 17, 2016 Steve Baqqi

Joy is very loosely based on the life of self-made entrepreneur and mogul Joy Mangano. Director David O. Russell attempts to strike gold a second time by reuniting the cast from Silver Linings Playbook (Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, and Bradley Cooper), but the results are less than stellar. Joy uses Mangano’s life story as a springboard to tell a story about generational family failure and a fierce determination to succeed despite hardship and tragedy.
