Mariachi Gringo (2012)
By: Rob Perez (Two Beers) - So will mariachi music make it big in the US? Will mariachi be what hipster kids will be downloading off of the iTunes? Has mariachi music cracked the top 200 charts? Will I ever wear clean underwear again? The answer is no to all these questions. But if the question was, can
Seeing Other People (2004)
By: Amelia Solomon (Two Beers) - Almost everyone dreads the saying, “I think we should see other people.” It means you just got dumped.

What Maisie Knew (2013)
By: Abby Olcese (Two Beers) - I’ve always liked the Tolstoy quote that “every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” I know it gets overused, but there’s a lot of truth to it, especially when it comes to unhappy families in literature and film.

Tropic Thunder (2008)
By: Ahmed Almatrook (Two Beers) - Tropic Thunder is, in my opinion, the funniest movie made in the past decade or so. For me, it never gets old; no matter how many times I watch it, it always has a certain charm that never fades away(not that you’d want it to fade away). With an all-star
