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: Fantastic Four

I thought I already knew what my least favorite movie of the year was months ago, but Fantastic Four might have just dethroned Jupiter Ascending considering that at least had Channing Tatum going for it.

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.

Dissecting Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation

It’s been four years since the last Mission: Impossible film, but the series is as strong as ever in Rogue Nation, continuing the trend started with M:I III.

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.
