The Girl on the Train Review

by    |  

We reviewed the window Emily Blunt's character gazes out of in The Girl on a Train because it was much more interesting than the film itself.

Sicario Review

by    |  

Sicario is an impeccably paced and executed action thriller from Denis Villeneuve, a director who is quickly proving himself to be a national treasure.

Into the Woods Review

by    |  

Wait for the next stage production of Into the Woods because Rob Marshall's adaptation is a disaster.

Edge of Tomorrow Review

by    |  

Edge of Tomorrow is easily one of the best high concept sci-fi blockbusters to come along in a while. It might not be a particularly original movie, but it’s a surprisingly creative one that delivers all of the necessary thrills and spills of good popcorn fodder along with some pretty clever writing and proof that Tom Cruise still has a bit of a gas left in the tank.

by    |

Looper Review

by    |  

Films like Looper come around so infrequently, and it’s doubtful that anyone could have seen into the future to know it would have turned out this great. It’s a gutsy and uncompromising genre film that will be hailed as a classic staple by many who see it.

The Five-Year Engagement - F2

The Five-Year Engagement Review

by    |  

While it will probably appeal to the most adoring fans of producer Judd Apatow and star Jason Segel, The Five-Year Engagement is a mean spirited, mostly unoriginal comedy that can never decide if it wants to pander to women or to bros, when it's a plot clearly designed to pander to the latter.
