Review: ‘Collateral Beauty’ Starring Will Smith, Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren, Edward Norton and Michael Peña
There’s sadness and plenty of humor and but the movie tries so hard to be uplifting and deep, that it just gets in the way of itself.

Movie Review: Damien Chazelle’s ‘La La Land’ Starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling
The movie is likeable and funny, yet extremely frustrating. I just wish the stars had a high-belt or two in their pockets.

Movie Review: ‘Nocturnal Animals’ Starring Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Shannon
Gyllenhaal and Shannon are outstanding, Shannon in particular. This is one of those films that you’ll think about long after the lights come back on.
Movie Review: ‘Loving’ Starring Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga
It’s a sad, frustrating and inspirational film that puts you right in the mindset of what this couple was feeling and thinking.
Movie Review: ‘Pushing Dead’ Starring James Roday
The perfectly cast Pushing Dead is a warm, gentle and meandering story about an HIV-positive writer named Dan (James Roday) and the friends that surround him.
Review: ‘Doomed! The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s The Fantastic Four’
The whole film is a bit inside baseball. It’s interesting as a comic book and Marvel film fan. If that isn’t you, you may want to skip this.

The film is too short on character and tries way too hard for that final ‘gotcha’.

Writer/director Ben Sledge has made a film that could easily be an episode of The Twilight Zone.
Movie Review: ‘Genius’ Starring Colin Firth and Jude Law
Who would have thought a movie about a book editor would be enjoyable?
Review: ‘Puerto Ricans in Paris’
With a title like Puerto Ricans in Paris you’d expect this to be a fun, Parisian romp about two guys out of their element. That’s partially true… except for the fun part.
Movie Review: ‘Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping’
‘Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping’ is absurd, often hilarious and thankfully never takes its site off their intended mark, namely today’s pop stars.

Does ‘Apocalypse’ live up to the great ‘Days of Future Past’?

Captain America: Civil War is not only a great superhero movie, it’s arguably one of the best ever
