Review: ‘Before I Fall’ Starring Zoey Deutch, Halston Sage, Cynthy Wu
Have you ever thought of two of your favorite movies and wondered what it would be like to combine them into one? Before I Fall would be the result of the equation if you combined the 1993 Bill Murray classic Groundhog Day and Tina Fey’s 2004 gem Mean Girls. Unfortunately this film doesn’t deserve to […]
Review: ‘Get Out’ Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford
It’s been a while since I’ve felt this uncomfortable leaving a movie. Make no mistake about it, Get Out (the directorial debut of comedian Jordan Peele) sets a new standard for modern horror films. While there are some funny moments, the laughs are scarce; this is a film that will be sure to leave audiences shocked and speechless Alison […]
Review: ‘A United Kingdom’ Starring David Oyelowo, Rosamund Pike
“No man is free who is not master of himself.” And with those words, Sir Seretse Khama put in motion a turn of events that eventually re-shaped the state of Southern Africa. Heir to the throne of the Bamangwato people residing in Bechuanaland (modern-day Botswana), Seretse’s (David Oyelowo) efforts to lead his people in the […]
Movie Review: ‘Focus’ Starring Will Smith, Margot Robbie
Heist movies have been among the more highly revered genres for decades and it seems unlikely that it will stop anytime soon. In most cases, the audience finds themselves rooting for the person(s) committing the often elaborate heist in the hopes that they may get to walk off into the sunset thus granting a payoff […]
Movie Review: ‘The To Do List’ Starring Aubrey Plaza, Bill Hader, Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Maggie Carey’s The To Do List is an awkward sex comedy to say the least. The movie starts out in Boise Idaho in the year 1993. The female protagonist Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza), the valedictorian of her high school class, creates a summer to do list of erotic activities to experience for the first time. […]
Movie Review: ‘White House Down’ Starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx
I’m a huge Roland Emmerich fan. I want this to be known. Some of my all time I-can-watch-this-a-thousand-times movies are his. Some of his great action-story films like Independence Day and The Patriot hold special places in my nostalgia bank. Heck, nothing beats watching his crazier over the top what-if films like The Day After […]
Movie Review: ‘Dead Man Down’ Starring Colin Farrell, Dominic Cooper
Colin Farrell has been a hot streak as of late, with some great role choices. First, he stole the show in Horrible Bosses. He really was about the only reason to see the movie. Then, he had an Academy Award worthy performance in the film In Bruges and turned around with a delightful role in […]
Review: Disney’s ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ A Smash Hit
I wasn’t a big Disney fan growing up. My friends tease me mercilessly about the fact that I’ve only seen four animated Disney movies (not counting the Pixar films; I’ve seen most of those), but I was just never really into them. Yes, I watched cartoons as a kid, but watching movies, I was able […]

Movie Review: ‘The Campaign’ Starring Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott
What better time is there to watch a political film than right in the middle of election season? The release of The Campaign couldn’t be more relevant, and reminds us just how silly politics can be. Although things get a little far fetched in the movie, it’s a great commentary on the subject matter and […]
