REVIEW
Out in Theaters: TAMMY

Out in Theaters: TAMMY

Begin Again played with alcoholism; Tammy’s the kind of movie that’s alcoholic. The whole thing seems inebriated, like it was shot with a camera in one hand and a shot of booze in the other. Never mind that Susan Sarandon spends the film chugging whiskey and brews, or that Melissa McCarthy can’t seem to make...

Out in Theaters: BEGIN AGAIN

Out in Theaters: BEGIN AGAIN

With music and New York serving as backdrops, Begin Again is touching, funny and lively enough to merit a taste. Imaginative and different, it challenges what you would normally expect…

Out in Theaters: TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION

At the end of the night, you wonder how you ever expected anything more. History repeats itself and so does Transformers, ad nauseam. One has to wonder if Flip’s “S…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: DIVERGENT

Out in Theaters: DIVERGENT

Screams snap you out of it. You’re sitting next to a pre-pubescent girl’s volleyball team from the local middle school—they shriek every time Miles Teller is on-screen. Now it's clear…
