No Hard Feelings
No Hard Feelings is rated R. So yes- there is a double entrendre in play here and way more exposure than one might expect from Academy Award winning actress Jennifer…
Review: Don’t Look Up
In this apocalyptic satire from Oscar-winning writer/director Adam McCay (Vice, The Big Short) astronomy PhD student Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) discovers a comet hurtling straight towards the earth. She and…
Passengers
Passengers is basically Castaway in space – with a bit of Gravity and The Martian thrown into the mix. Only it’s not as good as the aforementioned titles, mostly because…
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part Two
I had to re-read my review – from exactly one year ago – of Mockingjay - Part One to reaffirm what I already knew: Mockingjay, Part Two is definitely my…

X-Men: First Class
This movie is everything a prequel should be: entertaining in its own right and true to the characters we’ve come to know in the previous franchise films. For the uninitiated,…
Winter’s Bone
Winter’s Bone is bleak realism at its best. You may leave the theater happy, but only because no matter what, you’ll realize your life is a billion times better than…
