Review: San Andreas
There’s not much to say about a film entirely about earthquakes, but let’s do it anyway. I must admit, my theater experience tilted the judgment scale on this one, since I witnessed this disaster-porn epic in 4DX. … read more
Review: Spy
You can never judge a book by its cover, and you can never judge a movie by its trailer. Those are words to live by, especially in the case of this next coupling of Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig. Every time the pair has been together, they have been an unstoppable force of hilarity. … read more
Review: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
There was a time, not so long ago, when this movie buff would get excited for a new Michael Bay movie. Sure, I was 13 years old, but there was nothing better than explosions, car chases and fire fights on the big screen. For the next 10 years, things were mostly decent (sorry, Pearl Harbor), but then Bay got his hands on the Transformers franchise, and everything went to hell. … read more
Review: Punk’s Dead: SLC Punk 2
Before I moved to the Beehive State in the fall of 2000, one of my only references to this fascinating city was an independent movie titled SLC Punk. I watched it more times than I can remember and enjoyed every viewing for its exciting acting, energetic soundtrack and local resonance. It’s been 18 years since its release with multiple rumors that a sequel was on the horizon. As much as I enjoyed the first installment, I questioned whether or not it required or deserved another engagement. … read more
Review: The Danish Girl

Review: The Hateful Eight
Everything from the cinematography shot on gorgeous 70-mm. film to the mesmerizing score written by the legendary Ennio Morricone, Tarantino transports the audience to a different decade of filmmaking with dialogue only the man himself can produce. … read more
Review: The Revenant
Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, this tale, inspired by true events, follows fur trapper Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) and his team as they work in treacherous territories to make a living. … read more
Review: Listen To Me Marlon
While Marlon Brando may be considered one of the greatest actors of all time, he was also known for being an egotistic maniac and almost unbearable to work with on set. … read more
Review: Magic Mike XXL
Well, because my wife and every other squealing theater attendee loved the Kings of Tampa so much three years ago, Hollywood has decided to get the troop back together for one more round of grinding crotches. … read more
Review: Terminator: Genisys
To be honest, we haven’t had a great Terminator film in 14 years. Salvation was decent but still lacking, and don’t even get me started on the train wreck that was Rise of the Machines. … read more
Review: Fantastic Four
What a joyless turd. I guess the fourth time isn’t the charm either for these characters. Seriously, I was sincerely excited when it was announced that Chronicle director Josh Trank was going to be given the opportunity to FINALLY make a decent Fantastic Four film. … read more
Review: The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
In this rendition of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Napoleon Solo is the CIA’s top agent, and Illya Kuryakin is the KGB’s most efficient operative. … read more
