Laurence Anyways Review

Resident Evil: Retribution Review
Resident Evil: Retribution sadly takes a turn for the worse despite some grand action sequences, strong female characters, and great use of 3D. It simply makes the storyline far too complicated for its own good; jerking the audience around like it’s… well… a bad video game.

For a Good Time, Call… Review
Acting almost like the pottymouthed big sister of this year's Magic Mike, For a Good Time, Call... sends the summer out on a high note with witty banter, sly observations, and great performances.
