If you find yourself interested in seeing the latest Safdie Brothers Film Good Time, you will need to ask yourself two questions. First, re you a big Robert Pattinson (Twilight) fan? Do you like wasting time and money? If you answered yes to both or either, Good Time might be an experimental thriller worth your […]
The two comedians re-team for their third “Trip” Following original (2010), sequel “Italy” (2014), ‘Spain’ begs for something a bit different than what we have seen from the two in the past. Again, playing heightened versions of themselves, ‘Spain’ doesn’t provide the appeal that the stunning coastline Italy presented. The two funny Brits again hit
Mark Webb wades into his second touchy-feely film of the year. “Gifted” proved to be an above average family drama that tugged at the heartstrings with moral superlatives. “The Only Living Boy in New York” includes every morally corrupt relational situation you could find on a daytime soap opera.

Leap! inspires viewers and has messages for children about how to succeed to achieve your dream. Yes, you need to work hard, maybe cut a few corners (careful!), know who your friends are, have people rooting for you (but not distracting you), and cash in on a lot of luck. And, by the way, you

From the director of “The Expendables 3” comes a film that’s as predictable and by the books as you can get in the action genre.

Not only was the terrorist attack in London on April 30th 1980 similar to the events portrayed in the Oscar winning film Argo, but 6 Days presents itself very similarly. Director Toa Fraser lands his first film with major stars, his previous work on film and in television has failed to propel him to the
Kogonada’s directorial debut it’s like an exercise in architectural cinematic poetry. It should take the viewer about five minutes from the credits to understand that architecture is the focal point in Columbus. Nominated for best screenplay at the Gotham Awards, this self-reflective film combines themes and notions of Lost in Translation with last year’s Patterson.
This film comes at you out of left field. The basic story is interesting, in that a childless couple kidnapped a baby from birth, rearing it as their own. However, they’re a bit off their rockers and keep the child fearful about the outdoors and other people, and locked in a basement, which begins the
The more sequels and prequels they spin off The Conjuring, the more they ruin what that 2013 film achieved. Creation is a prequel to Annabelle (2014), where we finally get the origin of the doll. If the performances in The Conjuring made that horror flick what it was, Annabelle was a huge step in the
