DVD, Blu-Ray & Streaming – Hell or High Water
Not just a classic Robin Hood-type fable, but an ode to the fading American way of life.
Reviews
Movie Review – Nocturnal Animals
A visceral and violent story within a story. The tonic is mixture of Hitchcock, Lynch and Kubrick.
Movie Review – Divines
Don’t let names like Djugui and Oulaya fool you into thinking this is going to be one of those inaccessible foreign films.
Movie Review – Asperger’s Are Us
A documentary with off-centered humor and a dash of warmth.
Movie Review – Hacksaw Ridge
An incredibly personal story involving love, faith, and conscience.
Movie Review – The Shelter
Fallon has rested the weight of the world on his star, Michael Paré, as Thomas, a homeless man who seeks shelter in a mysterious abandoned home only to find that it may be his final resting place.
Movie Review – Doctor Strange
A first class Marvel production that may be the pedigree of the bunch.
Movie Review – Ouija: Origin of Evil
Can we just forget the first attempt at a Ouija movie and start the franchise here?
Movie Review – Arrival
Denis Villeneuve has crafted and elegant science fiction movie that harnesses every aspect of filmmaking to tell a surprising, smart and truly awe-inspiring story.
Movie Review – Girl on the Train
About halfway through the movie, I came to the following realization: “This movie is a real downer.”
Movie Review – The Dark Tapes
It has enough macabre moments to whet the genre fan’s ravenous appetite
Movie Review – Deepwater Horizon
A nail-biting, tense disaster film worth seeing.
Movie Review – The Magnificent Seven
From the tremendously played cast, to the quippy, well-penned script, Fuqua’s vision really fires on all cylinders.
Movie Review – Sully
As undoubtedly great as Tom Hanks is, there are still only so many ways he can contemplatively look at himself in the mirror before the audience gets bored.
Movie Review – Blair Witch
Where The Blair Witch Project looked like a compilation of found footage you’re just stumbling across, Blair Witch feels like a compilation of found footage put together to make a horror movie.
DVD, Blu-Ray & Streaming – Killer Party
Drummond and company are out to break many taboos.
Movie Review – Don’t Breathe
By the end, the film goes there.
Movie Review – Bridget Jones’s Baby
It may have taken nine months, but Universal brings us the first romantic comedy of 2016.
Web Series Showcase – The Adventures of Superseven, Tap It! & Black
Creating content for people to watch on the web is an uphill climb. With literally millions of choices, how on earth does one go about standing out?
Movie Review – Hell or High Water
Bank robberies, cops on the trail, open carry – all sounds like the formula for an action film, but Hell or High Water gets more mileage out of dialogue, strong character and anticipation of violence.
Movie Review – Sausage Party
Good timely social commentary but it easily gets steamrolled by the persistent raunch fest
Movie Review – Pete’s Dragon
Director Lowery employs a lot to buoy the sentiment, going for an unapologetically romantic take on boyhood fantasy.
Movie Review – Suicide Squad
Does Suicide Squad have its share of entertaining moments? Most definitely.
Movie Review – Jason Bourne
About two-thirds of the way through the film, I was reminded just how exciting action can be without special effects.
DVD, Blu-Ray & Streaming – Batman: The Killing Joke
Alan Moore’s gotta be pissed.
Movie Review – Ghostbusters
Ironically, for a movie that stars all women, this movie had the balls to be the movie it wanted to be.
Movie Review – The BFG
How is The BFG, the first team up between Disney and director Steven Spielberg not a bigger deal?
Movie Review – Central Intelligence
You’ll laugh a ton at this movie
Movie Review – Finding Dory
Pixar has done it again. When they are at they best, they find a combination of laughs, action and heart that few other animated (or live action) films can match.
Movie Review – The Conjuring 2
The Conjuring 2 succeeds mostly because of Wan’s ability as director to trust the audience will be with the film during the film’s quiet and unhurried moments.
Movie Review – Warcraft
I gotta admit that halfway through “Warcraft”, I was pretty damn puzzled as to what the hell was going on.
Movie Review – X-Men: Apocalypse
Ah, screw it. I enjoyed this movie.
Movie Review – Money Monster
Despite the pedigree on display in the new of-the-moment drama, Money Monster, the whole doesn’t equal the sum of its parts.
Movie Review – Captain America: Civil War
No movie franchise could possibly be this good, this consistent, this adept at getting everything right, time and time again. And yet…
Movie Review – Hardcore Henry
Hardcore Henry has come and pretty much gone from theaters and you neglected to take in this truly unique moviegoing experience. You look sad. You think I’m attacking you.
Movie Review – Elvis & Nixon
Liza Johnson’s new film “Elvis & Nixon” explores this powerhouse meeting, within its every right to speculate as much as it cares to.
Movie Review – The Jungle Book
A multi-million dollar risk that pretty much hits all the right notes.
Movie Review – Green Room
From the very first frame of “Green Room”, the audience can tell this is not going to be just your ordinary thriller.
Movie Review – I Saw the Light
I Saw the Light gets stuck in the musical biopic rut early and often.
Movie Review – Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
Snyder’s latest comic book folly is like an Electrolux Vacuum, it practically sucks all the joy of watching a super hero movie.
