The Adventures of André and Wally B. acts as conceptual art rather than entertainment. It was proof that motion blur techniques and complex 3D objects could be used against a partially rendered background. This was the birth of the greatest anima... Read the full review »

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT was incredible! Everytime I see a Mission: Impossible film, I say "no way they can top that!" yet they do time and time again. I very much enjoyed how they humanized Ethan this time around. Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Apocalypse Now is - like many Vietnam stories - a study of the affects of war on the human mind. That's some very difficult real-world subject matter, and generally it could be said that there are two ways of tackling serious things... Read the full review »

Adapting video games for film tends to underwhelm at the box office. It either takes a straight-forward premise and mucks it up (poor besmirched "Super Mario Bros.") or largely misunderstands what made the game fun (this includes you "Street Fight... Read the full review »

Netflix’s latest original feature isn’t going to blow the doors off your house, but that’s not what it’s geared for. Instead, "Set It Up" is a silly, light-hearted, rom-com that’ll take you on an amusing ride all the way to the end. Lead... Read the full review »
