Out in Theaters: 10,000 KM

Out in Theaters: 10,000 KM

Compulsively watchable and at times very sexy, 10,000 km is overall an interesting and promising debut from first-time feature director Carlos Marques-Marcet. Whether or not you found the protagonists as…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: SELF/LESS

Out in Theaters: SELF/LESS

What should have been a thinker of a science fiction meditation on self and the concept of technology irrevocably altering that sense of sense, Self/Less turns tail on its high…

Out in Theaters: TESTAMENT OF YOUTH

Out in Theaters: TESTAMENT OF YOUTH

Testament of Youth stumbles at a few junctions along the way but it still packs quite an emotional punch. Further, it’s all anchored in a magnificent performance from Vikander -…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: MAGIC MIKE XXL

Out in Theaters: MAGIC MIKE XXL

This shortcoming is forgiven in the face of an engulfing wave of laugh-out loud eruptions, eye-boggling dance numbers and a crew of guys you pine to hang just one more…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: TED 2

Out in Theaters: TED 2

In order to drill home the point, know that Ted 2 is in fact a cinematic urinal cake; a patchwork of unfunny, hateful jokes bred with a razor thin attempt…

REVIEW
Out in Theaters: CREEP

Out in Theaters: CREEP

From his backlit framing to the long, empty, awkward silences that fill the air like smog, Brice plants all the seeds of doubt required to make his audience want to…
