Film Review: ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ Starring Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Channing Tatum
There’s no doubt about it – Matthew Vaughn absolutely knows how to direct a stylish and entertaining film. He’s proven as such after taking on the director’s chair for 2005’s crime-thriller Layer Cake and directed even more memorable gems since such as Kick-Ass, X-Men: Days of Future Past and most recently, Kingsman: The Secret Service, […]

Review: “IT” Starring: Bill Skarsgard, Jaeden Lieberher
When word spread that Stephen King’s classic tale,”It,” was being remade, many wondered if Pennywise the Clown would be as memorable as Tim Curry’s Pennywise was in the made-for-TV movie. I’m here to report that Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise is not only entertaining, but also loads scarier and much more demented than Curry’s rendition of the […]
Film Review: ‘Leap!’ Starring Elle Fanning, Nat Wolff, Carly Rae Jepsen
Odette is house cleaner for an extremely wealthy woman named Regine who’s also a very snobby and evil woman (and why wouldn’t she be? The film needs a third act needs a big battle, after all). While helping Odette clean the the house, Félicie finds Regine has a daughter named Camille who is practicing for […]
Film Review: ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ Starring Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson
If you’ve seen any promotional material or just considered the personas of Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson alone, you know what kind of movie you’re going to get with The Hitman’s Bodyguard… and that is not a bad thing. The film is directed by Patrick Hughes, and is an action packed comedy in which Darrius […]

Film Review: ‘The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature’ Starring Will Arnett, Katherine Heigl
The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature is the sequel that nobody asked for, and is the follow-up to its 2013 predecessor (you guessed it!), The Nut Job. Did you know it even existed? I didn’t. In this film, we follow Surly Squirrel: an egotistical purple squirrel voiced by Will Arnett (whom I found to be quite a […]
Film Review: ‘Annabelle: Creation’ Starring Talitha Bateman, Lulu Wilson
Annabelle: Creation may seem like an unnecessary sequel/prequel to the Conjuring franchise, and while it is, the new film is actually enjoyable to watch. Like a lot of horror films, the script is laughable, the acting is sufficient and some of the scares will make you laugh. The film begins with dollmaker Samuel Mullins, played […]
Review: ‘Atomic Blonde’ Starring Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, Sofia Boutella
The main star of the film (besides Theron), however, are the fights. In his solo directorial debut, David Leitch (co-director of John Wick) sticks to his strengths, and the end result is a collection of action sequences that made me pull a muscle just watching. The absolute highlight of the film is an eight-minute fight […]
