REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘X-MEN: APOCALYPSE’

Out in Theaters: ‘X-MEN: APOCALYPSE’

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ is a joyless and often unengaging entry to X-Men's impressive catalogue. Overlong, actively not fun and without any defining or memorable action beats, this sixth X-Men feature wears…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘MEN & CHICKEN’

Out in Theaters: ‘MEN & CHICKEN’

'Men & Chicken' is an unlikely fit for the tastes of the masses but those desiring an offbeat, off-color dark comedy chockablock with nitwits conducting their dimwitted ballet will find…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR’

Out in Theaters: ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR’

'Captain America: Civil War' is the Marveliest Marvel movie yet. And in this context, that's a good thing. With a battalion of supers at their disposal, Anthony and Joe Russo…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘HIGH-RISE’

Out in Theaters: ‘HIGH-RISE’

Ben Wheatley has stumbled upon something strangely salient with dystopian protest piece 'High-Rise' but the creeping chronology fails to drive the action forward, creating something that’s both busy and unfocused…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘KEANU’

Out in Theaters: ‘KEANU’

Catnip for Key & Peele fans, ‘Keanu’ is a daffy laugh-a-minute concept comedy meets YouTube video; definitive proof that the sketch comics’ careers are far from over – and may…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘SING STREET’

Out in Theaters: ‘SING STREET’

Big-hearted, shamelessly cheerful and joyous beyond measure, 'Sing Street' is an upbeat victory for director John Carney. Brimming with laughs and a surprising amount of tears, 'Sing Street' is rarely…

REVIEW
Blu-Ray Review: ‘JANE’S GOT A GUN’

Blu-Ray Review: ‘JANE’S GOT A GUN’

Synopsis: “Natalie Portman is Jane Hammond, a frontierwoman who enlists the aid of a disgruntled former flame (Joel Edgerton) when a rowdy gang led by a ruthless but charismatic killer named John Bishop (Ewan McGregor) plots to axe her outlaw husband (Noah Emmerich). Using a combination of her feminine guile and a sudden disposition for...

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING’

Out in Theaters: ‘A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING’

As can be expected, Tom Hanks shines in Tom Tyker’s ‘A Hologram for the King’ but even the great American everyman can't overcome storytelling this clunky and meandering Middling, sluggish…

INTERVIEW
Talking with Jeremy Saulnier of ‘GREEN ROOM’

Talking with Jeremy Saulnier of ‘GREEN ROOM’

Jeremy Saulnier emerged from the shadows last year with his not-quite-cult independent smash Blue Ruin. About a man fatally ill prepared to strike justice on the man responsible for his parent’s slaying, Saulnier managed an original voice in a familiar setting. With this year’s Green Room, he’s managed to strike the sweet spot once more....

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘GREEN ROOM’

Out in Theaters: ‘GREEN ROOM’

Jeremy Saulnier's grotesquely violent 'Green Room' pits a hapless punk band against a group of militant Neo Nazis in almost pornographically gruesome fashion. That there isn't too much to the…
