Out in Theaters: ‘THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS’
That ‘The Girl With All the Gifts’ feels like a spiritual sequel to Danny Boyle’s ’28 Days Later’ should be praise enough. Though it lacks in overalls scares, there are…
REVIEW
Out in Theaters: ‘LOGAN’
Adult-oriented 'Logan' mixes some rather heavy thematic elements in with its gory violence and hard language to create a uniquely introspective, genuinely mature but welcomely visceral superhero experience. Extremely dark…

Out in Theaters: ‘SPLIT’
