Sparkling champagne, big parties, reckless behavior and extravagant wealth. The Roaring Twenties was a time of splendor, with rocketing stocks, glittering jazz and bootleg alcohol. In the midst of the careless decade comes “The Great Gatsby,” a masterful novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a war veteran who goes to great lengths to win back his past love.

Despite disappointments from critics with high expectations, “Brave” gives the general audience an enchanting bedtime story with a refreshing feminist spin.

“The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” finally provides a film for an older audience wishing to spend their nights away from movies centered around teenage romances or high schools.

If there ever existed an unspoken rule that remakes, sequels or prequels were worse than the original and were bound for failure, Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” has most definitely broken it.

With the support of the brilliant director, Peter Jackson, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” provided great visuals, adventure and most importantly, another set of quirky, brave and loveable characters.
