Movie Review: ‘Hunter Killer’ Starring Gerard Butler, Gary Oldman, Common

Posted: October 26, 2018 at 7:01 am   /   Movie Reviews

Posted: February 9, 2017 at 2:43 pm   /   Movie Reviews

Although it received very little fanfare ahead of its release, the original film, released in 2014, became […]

Movie Review: ‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ Starring Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Garner

Posted: August 15, 2012 at 8:06 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

It always bothers me leaving a children’s film not knowing exactly who it’s intended audience is. Being that The Odd Life of Timothy Green is a PG Disney film, it certainly isn’t for adults. But after watching it, I can’t see kids 3-10 being entertained by it either. And there just isn’t enough action or […]
