Film Review: Serena

Serena doesn’t work on almost any level, as the filmmakers let down their stars and an interesting source material.

Dissecting The Divergent Series: Insurgent

Lauren: As the story of The Divergent Series scales out in the sequel, Insurgent, problems begin rearing their ugly faces as a bigger story is crammed into 2 hours of film. I’m not saying I finally agree with Zac’s hatred levels when it comes to these movies, but I am starting to see his side […]

Film Review: The Salvation

The Salvation is a grim and dark western that makes the most of its stars and straightforward storytelling.

Film Review: Chappie

Chappie tries to do way too much, with way too many sci-fi ideas, but at least it was trying to get out of its derivative core and thinks big.

Film Review: Kingsman: The Secret Service

With how ridiculous Kingsman: The Secret Service is I feel like I shouldn’t have liked it even though I was pretty excited going in. How could I not be after those previews? But still, it was setting itself up to crash hard, right next to the burning wreckage of Jupiter Ascending. Thankfully Kingsman doesn’t disappoint, […]
