Movie Review: THE MAURITANIAN Starring Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim
Whoever came up with the phrase, the truth shall set you free, has never been to Guantanamo Bay. It’s a shame that The Mauritanian didn’t feature more of Tahar Rahim’s character, Mohamedou Ould Slahi.

Movie Review: THE WAR WITH GRANDPA Starring Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Oakes Fegley
At first glance, The War With Grandpa looks like nothing more than a cash-grab, generic comedy that will introduce a new generation of movie-goers to the legendary Robert De Niro and a few of his friends. At first glance, you wouldn’t be wrong, but the movie is not all that bad if you give it […]
