I realize that I've been reducing the frequency of my reviews as of late. I've been absent since Logan and am just now coming out of the shadows. There's a method to my madness, however, and it's not just reviewing big event movies or awards darlings. I could m...

The Huntsman: Winter's War
Directed By: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Nick Frost, Sam Claflin, Rob Brydon, and Jessica Chastain
I don't exactly frequent Rotten Tomatoes, but there seems to be no middle ground these days. Movies are either universally acclaimed or universally loathed. Hardly any movies are landing anywhere between 30% and 79% these days. Movies like The Jungle Book and Zootopia comfortably fall in the former category while Batma...

At the beginning of the year, I said that 2015 was the year of the reborn franchise. Just look to upcoming installments for the Jurassic Park, Terminator, and Star Wars series. It's undeniable. There's one franchise introducing itself to a new generation of moviegoers this weekend that has a k... Continue reading ...

Snow White and the Huntsman SoberFilmChick
Directed By: Rupert Sanders
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, and Ian McShane
Finally! Something has come along to erase the memory of Julia Roberts’ lackluster Snow White tale Mirror, Mirror from earlier this year. If we had to ask the mirror on the wall which was the fairest film of all based on Snow White, The Huntsman would win by a landslide. With sweeping cinematography, interesting characters, and a heft... Continue reading ...

Young Adult
Directed By: Jason Reitman
Starring: Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson, and Patton Oswalt
When I first heard of Jason Reitman'sYoung Adult, I got pretty excited. With great films likeUp In the Airand Juno on this guy's resume, I figured we were in for a real treat. Those black comedies that Reitman's has done in the past have a great blend of humor and drama. Given this, I expected more of that same good stuff inYoung Adult, especially considering that Charlize Theron is starrin... Continue reading ...
