I actually enjoyed Focus quite a bit. It’s a charming caper comedy which is perfectly content to be nothing more than that. It asks very...

In a lot of ways, Resident Evil: Degeneration is the most well-realized video game adaptation in existence. The plot is jumbled, the voice acting is...

I’ll be the first to admit that I was very much among the naysayers when it was revealed that Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s...

As a story, Gone Girl is utterly preposterous. It’s the kind of writhing narrative built almost entirely upon big plot swerves; one heavily reliant on...

It’s actually kind of amazing that a movie so full of individually awesome moments can be as insultingly, unforgivably terrible as Seventh Son. It’s kind...

A Cure for Wellness is an old-school, Lovecraftian gothic horror picture that comes directly from the addled mind of Gore Verbinski – and Christ, you...

Review Beauty and the Beast? Is there any point? If there was ever a movie that you already know whether or not you like, it’s...

It’s a Tarantino movie. Is that praise or criticism for The Hateful Eight? A warning or a recommendation? None of the above, really. It is...

Paul Feig – bespectacled, rumpled, perpetually-tailored, like a harangued insurance salesman – doesn’t look like an especially funny guy. He must be, though, to keep...

When particularly violent criminals are prematurely transferred from Young Offender Institutions into adult prisons, their files are marked with stars identifying them as troublemakers. This...

There’s a moment in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (the fifth of these movies – they don’t always put numbers on them) in which Tom...

If it bleeds, it leads. That’s the slogan of Bill Paxton’s ambulance-chasing “nightcrawler” Joe Loder; the words of dubious wisdom he bestows upon gaunt, bug-eyed...

We review the 2016 film Split, which does not contain any significant spoilers. Everyone loves a comeback story. In sports, in the movies, in life;...

You’d need all ten fingers and probably six claws to count the ways in which Logan shouldn’t work. For one thing, it’s not an X-Men...

Warcraft has the best-looking Orcs I’ve ever seen in a piece of media. Honestly. Despite all the horrible things I’m going to say about this...

There have only been a handful of times that I’ve felt truly uncomfortable being a sports fan, and almost all of them are attached in...
