Kong: Skull Island Review

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Review
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies closes out an otherwise so-so series in the best possible way.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Review
The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug isn’t necessarily better or worse than its predecessor, but more like an inverse of all of An Unexpected Journey ’s positives and negatives. Instead of an opening hour that sets things up in excruciating detail and a final two hours of exciting story, Smaug has a pretty entertaining, fast paced and swiftly moving opening 100 minutes before giving into repetitive indulgence that exists for no reason except to drag the story out over three movies.
This Week in DVD: 3/26/13
Did you miss almost all of our theatrical coverage around the holidays?

We talk to the lucky actor to get the high profile role of Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's kick off to The Hobbit trilogy, British actor Richard Armitage about working with Jackson, being on set in Middle Earth while being a huge Tolkien fan, and Andy Serkis asking the actor to go the extra mile for gritty realism.
The Adventures of Tintin Review
It is rare that a film is released in Europe before North America, unless it is a European production. And while The Adventures of Tintin is technically not European, its roots are, and so its release here in the United Kingdom last week was appropriate.
District 9 Review
2009 has been an incredible year for science fiction films. Duncan Jones’ impressive Moon and James Cameron’s super-hyped Avatar can consider themselves in extremely good company with District 9 . Director Neill Blomkamp has a very bright future ahead of him. Based on Blomkamp’s short film Alive in Joburg , District 9 is quite simply […]
