Out in Theaters: EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS
To watch Exodus is to endure exodus. At 150 mins, it's easily one of the most taxing films of the year and surely one of its least inspired blockbusters. Darren…

Weekly Review 65: DEBORAH, BIRDCAGE, THIN, BEST!, GIRL
It’s an insanely busy time of year as I’m rushing to see the remainder of 2014 flicks, preparing for a Top Ten Horror Films of the year and bustling to get ready for a trip around the world. Last week in theaters meant two big blockbuster with colons screenings, The Hobbit: The Battle of the...

Ranking Ridley Scott: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
When asked about his diversity of films and if he himself had any idea what constitutes a Ridley Scott film, the 77-year old director admitted, “There never was a plan and there still is no plan.

Out in Theaters: HORRIBLE BOSSES 2
Yes, Jennifer Aniston and her carnal explicitness busted my gut. Pine proved (yet again) that maybe comedy is what he was made for. And Day, Bateman and Sudeikis are all…

Out in Theaters: THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 1
But this is not a fun movie. Nor is it really geared towards kids. In the third outing of Hunger Games, you're more likely to find subtext than battle. And…

Weekly Review 63: LATE, CHEERLEADERS, MOCKINGBIRD, DEN, BORDERLANDS, BANSHEE, WER, EXISTS
The amount of films I’ve seen this week is sheer insanity. In the theater, I only had a screening of Dumb and Dumber To (one I seemed to cull more enjoyment from than many others) but the real work was put in at home. After digesting a viewing of The Graduate (one of my all...
