Kung Fu Panda 3

Kung Fu Panda 3 is a pretty big step back from the first two films as it loses its way at almost every turn.

Jane Got a Gun

Jane Got a Gun is an almost great survival western, but this clever story feels just a bit too small on the production side at times while not quite coming together for half its runtime.

45 Years

45 Years is a solid slice of life look at a long-standing couple dealing with an interesting dilemma, and the fallout from that.

Son of Saul

Son of Saul’s incredible filmmaking takes us inside the Holocaust in a new and unique way, but the happenstance surrounding Saul and the holes it asks the viewer to fill hold it back in the end.

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi might be Michael Bay’s best film, as his apolitical take on that night’s events serves as an excellent template for his action filmmaking skills.

Film Review: Anomalisa

Anomalisa is a beautifully animated creation from the mind of Charlie Kaufman, but I can’t help but be a bit disappointed with it; especially compared to his other works.

Film Review: The Revenant

The Revenant is another master class in filmmaking from Alejandro Iñárritu and Emmanuel Lubezki, as they take us on an engrossing experience of survival; led by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Film Review: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (Spoilers)

Star Wars is back with The Force Awakens, and while it is really good, often great at times, it’s held back by trying too hard to be A New Hope. ***SERIOUS SPOILERS BELOW*** Come back after you have seen the film.

Film Review: The Hateful Eight (Roadshow Engagement)

The Hateful Eight finds Quentin Tarantino operating in his smallest space (with his grandest vistas) all while a bunch of game actors entertains the hell out of you.

Film Review: The Big Short

The Big Short is one of the year’s best films; funny, informative, entertaining, and infuriating, all with a great group of actors delivering excellent work.
