Fruitvale Station Review

Despite some questionable narrative elements, the still powerful Fruitvale Station tells a tragic tale with one of the best performances in screen history from Michael B. Jordan. That's not hyperbole. His is the kind of performance that makes a decent film positively superlative.

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.
