Film Review: Phoenix

Phoenix is a compelling post-Holocaust drama, whose narrow focus ends up working for it in the end, even if the film feels a bit small for the subject matter.

Film Review: The Diary of a Teenage Girl

The Diary of a Teenage Girl is an impressive directorial debut for Marielle Heller and quite the showcase for Bel Powley who carries this coming of age film with ease.

Film Review: The Gift

The Gift is a twisted little thriller that never tries to be more than it is and had me guessing until I was supposed to put it all together.

Film Review: Ricki and the Flash

Ricki and the Flash is a simple character study. It doesn’t do a whole lot, but it is enjoyable watching Meryl Streep as Ricki navigate an attempt to reconnect with her family.

Dissecting Fantastic Four – Not That Bad?

Zac: Fantastic Four is almost a great superhero movie, with a lot of great stuff in there from Josh Trank, before the film falls apart when it tries to be something it’s not in the end. Lauren: Uuuggggghhhh… Wwwhhhhhyyyyyy are you so stupid…

Film Review: Best of Enemies

Best of Enemies is a great documentary that entertains, informs and connects the subject of the past to today with simple ease.

Review: Listen to Me Marlon

Listen to Me Marlon is a told in his own words documentary about actor Marlon Brando that will feel like a trip through his greatest hits for fans, while the uninitiated will find more to chew on.

Film Review: Vacation

The Vacation reboot has an OK amount of laughs, but it’s all pretty stupid and kind of predictable along the way.

Film Review: Southpaw

Southpaw gets a couple of things right around a solid Jake Gyllenhaal performance, but its misery porn laden mess of a script sinks most everything going for it.

Film Review: Irrational Man

Irrational Man is Woody Allen finding a nice middle ground between his comedy and crime genres to pretty good results.
