Andra Day is sensationally good as singer Billie Holiday.
Triple Frontier Review
The premise of Triple Frontier isn't entirely new, but its tale of honour among thieves is one that never grows old.

Mojave Review
Oscar Isaac continues his string of great performances with Mojave , unfortunately there's not much else going for it.
Unbroken Review
Equally overlong and underdeveloped, Angelina Jolie's WWII biopic Unbroken squanders an unfathomable amount of first rate talent in front of and behind the camera.
Inside Llewyn Davis Review
Directors Joel and Ethan Coen and actor Oscar Isaac work together in the 1960s New York folk music scene set Inside Llewyn Davis to craft one of the most emotionally affecting works to date in a fictionalized tale of a talented obstinate that feels as powerful as the best non-fiction.

TRON: Legacy Review
I didn't really have any lofty hopes for TRON: Legacy . My generation missed the bandwagon for sci-fi action adventure movies that dominated theatres in the late 70s and early 80s. I was unburdened by childhood nostalgia, the only thing that had skewed my expectations about the film was the monstrous marketing campaign that Disney employed. This sequel - that nobody ever really asked for - is worth seeing, but only if you plan to watch it in 3D in a giant theatre with a killer sound system.
