If you get past the murky science being presented in Criminal, there’s an enjoyable action ride here even if it’s still too rough to be an instant classic.

The Totally Biased “Batman v Superman” Review
I’m not going to lie, I had my misgivings about this film and even after watching it, most of those were not changed. However there are gems in this film that shouldn’t be ignored. While this film does deserve the…
Zoolander 2 Isn’t Worth Another Glance
You probably don’t need me to tell to stay away from this stinker. However, in case it had crossed your mind, here’s the reasons to avoid this one like the plague.
Deadpool Earns The Hard R, Hollywood…Not So Much
Rarely does Biff, I mean Fox, ever get anything right. Just look at X-Men Origins: Weird Deadpool or Fantastic Four: Disappearing Facial Hair/Wig Edition; two excellent properties that they have almost or successfully run into the ground. The only reason X-Men: Days…

“Glorious Indeed” The Hateful Eight & 70MM Roadshow Review
Besides the release of Star Wars, there was only one movie that I was looking forward to this December: The Hateful Eight. It was high on my radar since it was a Tarantino film, but also because he decided to shoot it on…
“Witness Omalu’s Determination” Concussion Review
What starts off as an excellent investigation into the cause of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopahy) quickly tries to turn into something else and loses the ability to knock this one out the park. Will Smith shines with another solid performance…
“The Radical Life Of Joy Mangano” Joy Review
December is always a month chop full with new biopics and courageous stories. Joy is no exception to that trend and it doesn’t manage to break free of the basement dweller status that many of these occupy.
“Wild Ride Of Financial Turmoil” The Big Short Review
While I disagree with the number of Oscar nods everyone thinks this film will get, I can definitely agree how strong the film is regardless. Adam McKay, fresh off his screenwriting success with Ant-Man, gets a crack at detailing the 2007 housing…
