SHE CAME TO ME MOVIE REVIEW
You know what they say: you can’t spell opera without Oh, perhaps a saucy affair is in order. Writer/director Rebecca Miller presents She Came to Me. Brilliant composer of transcendent operas Steven Lauddem (Peter Dinklage) is a suffering artist who has come down with a horrible case of writer’s block and the heartbreaking loss of inspiration. His spouse, Dr. Patricia Jessup-Lauddem (Anne Hathaway), is a total neat freak who loves cleaning, schedules, routines, and perfect posture. They are raising an 18 year old college student, Julian (Evan Ellison), who excels in the sciences and in trapping the heart of a young scientific 16 year old prodigy named Tereza (Harlow Jane). Tereza’s mother, a maid named Magdalena (Joanna Kulig), does not want the unbridled passions of young love to destroy her daughter’s life like it has hers and implores her not to engage in sexual relations, especially with a boy who happens to be the son of one of her employers. As if that consensual walk of egg shells wasn’t enough, Steven finds a way to unblock his writers obstruction: with the help of a boat captain who puts the Tug in tug boat. Eh? eh? Katrina Trento (Marisa Tomei) is addicted to romance and falls into the role of Steven’s sexy muse. Bradly, Frank, and Eliot unpack this heart shaped box of old and new love couplings, discuss whether or not you should shove so much story into one valentine just because you can, and muse over the legacy of the Miller name.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
Eliot Nelson (Screener Squad, Staff Writer)
Soaked in the soggy rains of Seattle, Eliot developed a love of sci-fi, movies, cartoons, heavy metal, and all of geekdom. Pursuing his passion for the written word, he got his BA from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. He has since worked exclusively in the foodservice industry, like any liberal arts major worth their salt. Eliot wiles away the hours listening to movie reviews, writing his epic sci-fi novel, and consuming as much media as possible. His favorite movies include The Lord of the Rings, City of God, Dawn of the Dead, and Groundhog Day. When not rambling to himself about the ineptness of entertainment executives, Eliot posts infrequently on Twitter and squawks regularly on his podcast The Debasement Tapes.
