Last weekend, three major releases couldn’t dethrone returning champs ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. This weekend, three more will battle for the top of the box office. ...
‘The One I Love’ Review: Mumble-Horror
Mixing together conventions of the quirky indie broken romance with ‘Twilight Zone’-style conceptual horror, ‘The One I Love’ is if nothing else a unique film. It opens by feeling like a movie you’ve ...
‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill For’ Review: Boobs, Booze a
Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller might have taken almost ten years to mount their sequel to ‘Sin City’, but within seconds it feels like they never left. This isn’t so much a sequel as it is a second issue. It&#...
‘If I Stay’ Review: Please Let Me Go
Once hyped as the next ‘Twilight’, ‘If I Stay’ serves up a painfully earnest soap opera for teens that’s as predictable as it is condescending. It’s a romance with vaguely Christian morals for t...
‘Are You Here’ Review: Are You Funny? No.
Some movies are horrible because they were made by people who should never be allowed to own a camera or pretend to act. Then there are horrible movies made by such talented people that the failure is inexplicable. ‘Are You ...

Poll: ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ Title Change
Despite favorable reviews and word-of-mouth, Tom Cruise’s sci-fi action flick ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ underperformed at the box office this summer. Seemingly to fool viewers into thinking that it’s a different m...
‘The Last Ship’ 1.09 Recap: “Someone Has to Be
Oh, I see. THAT’S what you’ll be doing for the next two episodes of ‘The Last Ship’. Really, REALLY making sure you have a vaccine and maybe SORTA getting wifey out of the way for Dr. Red and Captain McStea...
‘True Blood’ 7.09 Recap: “Get Over Yourself, Bi
I just don’t understand what the producers of ‘True Blood’ are trying to accomplish this season. Here we are at the second-to-last episode that the series will ever air, and once again almost nothing of any narra...
‘The Strain’ 1.06 Recap: “Something Awful Is Ha
With a couple of big CGI sequences, I suspect that this week’s episode of ‘The Strain’ may have burned through the show’s visual effects budget for the season. Too bad a little more of that money couldnR...
