Eddie Redmayne has been on quite the tear lately. After his Oscar win with the Theory of Everything, I was surprised to see him follow it up with another strong performance. Well, if we ignore Jupiter Ascending…because he had this…

Marvel Universe Live: Try the “It’s Not Just For Kids” Argument After This
If you’re a nerd like me, you inevitably run into someone who overhears you talking about how much you love something nerdy ( for me it’s superheroes), and they will look at you with their snide, condescending look and ask…
“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…

“Spike Lee, Relevant As Always” Chi-Raq Review
Lysistrata is not the first Greek play that would have come to my mind for an adaptation. Positioned in a new period of history, during which Chicago has seen deaths that rival those of American service members aboard, Spike Lee…
“Fassbender and Cotillard Excel” Macbeth Review
I must admit that Macbeth slipped under my radar. However, after seeing a rather impressive trailer, it quickly rose to the top of my list. Justin Kurzel demonstrated a very grounded, yet unique take for his version. How well does this…
“The Force Has Returned” Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review (Spoiler-free)
Since the first Star Wars trailer dropped, we’ve all wanted to know: Will it be any good? Would J.J. Abrams deliver us something special? Would Jar Jar Binks actually turn out to be a Sith Lord? I have those answers and…
