The Kitchen Review: If You Can’t Stand the Mediocrity…

Jason Gorber — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 16:00:05 +0000

It gives no pleasure to convey how middling The Kitchen is. The film just lays there limp and lifeless, trying desperately to inject some interest for the audience. Its dullness is almost impressive, as if it would be harder to make a film this meandering than to take the genre elements, throw in some action...

The Secret Life of Pets 2 Review: The Dogs Have Been Let Out Again

Deirdre Crimmins — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 12:00:12 +0000

Big screens or small, people will always love watching animals. The Secret Life of Pets cashed in on that fact back in 2016, and without changing the formula too much, The Secret Life of Pets 2 is here to pick up any loose change left.

The Lego Movie 2 Review: Another Brick in the Wall

Jason Gorber — Thu, 07 Feb 2019 18:00:15 +0000

In an alternate timeline where The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part was in fact the first of the series, it would rival just about any animated film that’s likely to come out this year. It’s smart, beautifully rendered, and has clever set-pieces. It’s got a terrific voice cast, a nice little meta-story, and plenty...

The Oath Review: An Unpromising Premise

Deirdre Crimmins — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 12:00:03 +0000

Thanksgiving should be a pure holiday. No Hallmark pressure to buy cards or decorate the house. No corporate consumerism pressing us to buy gifts for everyone we know. We’re just supposed to eat, digest, and be grateful. However, if personal experience and cinematic history are reliable sources, Thanksgiving tends to steer into family drama. The...

2018 Oscar Nominations

Josh Zyber — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:00:19 +0000

Hollywood is in such a shambles these days that it’s almost a surprise the Academy Awards are going through with an Oscars ceremony this year at all. Nevertheless, tradition must be upheld and too much money is on the line. Actors Andy Serkis and Tiffany Haddish presented the latest round of nominations this morning. Desperate...

‘Girls Trip’ Review: An Oddly Serious Romp

Philip Brown — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 12:00:35 +0000

Take a peek at any of the trailers or posters for ‘Girls Trip’ and you’ll think you’re being sold a wacky R-rated “girls behaving badly” comedy not unlike the movie ‘Rough Night’ that hit screens just a few weeks ago. For the most part, you’d be right. However, director Malcolm D. Lee and his team...
