"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

A passionate communist worker is discouraged by the changing political climate and the failure of his peers to live up to his ideals.
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.
The film follows the biblical story of Moses, from his time as a prince of Egypt, to a leader for the people of Israel. It’s a film that works brilliantly in animation, and is one that both children and adults can; enjoy despite its religious contexts, it is friendly to general audiences.
Joann Kohng’s Subject to IX tells the heartbreaking truth of the Title IX rules that colleges abide by.
There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up. This was just another played out plot with little, if any, originality in it. By the end of the film, I wasn't happy that she finally got her freedom, I was happy that it was finally over.
The film basically says she was a lost cause from the start. We don't get a sense of who Marilyn was.
The Lego Movie achieves great humor and story with a combination of childish comedy, adult references, irony, and by subverting popular movie tropes.
