Are You Here Review

Are You Here is a terrible movie that was made by very talented people who should know better.

Free Birds Review

Not funny, ugly to look at, filled with awful product placement, boring voice work, and mildly insulting historical parallels, Free Birds is a failure through and through.

The Internship Review

As a nearby clocks chimes midnight, an old-fashioned car pulls up and a stranger beckons Gil inside.

Hall Pass Review

I’m gonna lay it all out for you: If you watched the trailer for Hall Pass and thought “I bet I could tell you, beat by beat, exactly how that movie’s plot is going to go”, then you are likely correct in your assumptions.
