Money Monster, brings the Wall Street world to us in an exciting and amusing way. But like most financial films, this film fails to convey the importance of such circumstances. In Money Monster, George Clooney plays television personality and finance guru, Lee Gates, who is taken hostage by a young man named Kyle (Jack O’Connell). … Continue reading REVIEW: MONEY MONSTER
REVIEW: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
Captain America, along with the Marvel Avengers, brings you another fun comic book film. This time The Avengers are out for blood, but not from your average run-of-the-mill criminals. No, this time they are out to get each other in an all-out war. Civil War, to be exact. First of all, I’m not really a … Continue reading REVIEW: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

The Huntsman: Winter’s War is a prequel/sequel/something, that takes us back into the magical realm of the first movie, Snow White and the Huntsman.

REVIEW: THE JUNGLE BOOK
The Jungle Book takes us on an adventure with a young boy named Mowgli, as he sets out for a man village, after his family of wolves is threatened by the vicious tiger, Shere Khan.

REVIEW: ZOOTOPIA
Since the birth of “children’s films”, parents have unwillingly taken their hyperactive children to see plushy appropriate films, only to be one step away from pulling their hair out. But with Disney’s new film, Zootopia comes out with guns blazing, not shying away from taking shots at certain subjects. This film takes on serious subject … Continue reading REVIEW: ZOOTOPIA
REVIEW: 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE
Let’s be frank, here. I refuse to call this film a sequel to the previously released Cloverfield (2008), which, by the way, is a great film. In 10 Cloverfield Lane, our hero, Michelle, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), wakes up one day to find herself prisoner in a bomb shelter. … Continue reading REVIEW: 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

Does The Coen Brothers’ take on old Hollywood live up to their past achievements? Set in 1951, Hail, Caesar! centers around a studio “manager”, Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), whose job it is to keep the actors in line as their constant personal lives force pictures to come to a standstill. Mannix a “devout” Catholic, or … Continue reading REVIEW: HAIL, CAESAR!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies tells Jane Austen’s basic love story between both Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. But where the film differs, obviously, is the plot of having zombies. Instead of Ms. Bennet playing … Continue reading REVIEW: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
