‘The Shack’ Review: No Love for This Shack

Oddly naïve and sweet in its Christian values, yet vicious to the point of exploitation in its violence, ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ is very much a conflicted movie. It’s also the latest film directed by Mel Gibson, a man wh...
The mountaineering sport is not new to feature films. Amongst others, we’ve seen it in the action-thriller ‘Cliffhanger‘ and in the drama ‘Vertical Limit‘. Telling the true story of a tragic guided ex...
Based on the most successful kidnapping in history (in terms of ransom returns) and featuring a pretty damn impressive British cast, ‘Kidnapping Mr. Heineken’ is a genre movie that should have made itself. The material...
The star system might not have the power it once did in Hollywood (one need only look at the number of Nicolas Cage movies that haven’t even hit theaters in recent years for proof of that), but it still has some pull when a ...
Criterion collectors, indie movie fans, Shakespeare buffs and classic foreign film aficionados might all find new Blu-ray titles to peak their interest today. For anyone looking for something a little more mainstream… Well, there&...

The odd thing about this weekend’s releases is that the movie with the thinnest plot is almost certainly going to be the most entertaining of the bunch. Let’s be honest, watching Liam Neeson fist-fight a pack of wolves...
I’ve wanted to give Summit Entertainment the benefit of the doubt, but the studio can’t seem to release worthy genre films. ‘Source Code‘ and ‘50/50‘ seem to be flukes in an otherwise crappy tra...
The new year appears set to kick off with a few films that feature criminals as heroic protagonists. In one movie, Sam Worthington volunteers to be the diversion to a heist that should prove his innocence. In the other action flic...
Well, nothing big coming out this week, guess we can just move on. Oh, unless you count ‘Skyrim’, ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’ and HD versions of ‘Metal Gear Solid’. Which you should.
