Based on the best selling novel, The Girl On The Train is about an alcoholic who takes the train everyday and was the last person to witness a girl who has gone missing. This was hyped to be the biggest thriller of the year, I mean the book is sup... Read the full review »

Ouija: Origin of Evil is the prequel sequel to a horror that not many people liked. In fact the original was panned pretty much by everyone. Yet, somehow, every aspect is improved in this sequel. This was much more than your typical horror movie,... Read the full review »

[Review] Kassel (2016, Short Film)
Kassel is an impressive first film by writer and director Earl Wayne Crabtree II. While it does have a few flaws, for the most part, it is a beautifully shot and well-acted short film. With this being Crabtree's first attempt at a short film, I wa... Read the full blog post »

"Boo! A Madea Halloween" is a surprise. It's got a lot of opportunities for laughs if you turn off your brain and try to have fun with it, but Tyler Perry needs to learn to dump the morals and embrace the mayhem... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: At its centre, 'Doctor Strange,' is really just another simple, well-told superhero origin about a guy going from douchebag to hero; it just so happens to have a heavy side-order of dazzling world-building and mysticism.
That's all... Read the full review »

Phase 2 of my recent journey to watch all Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween movies is complete. I watched all 8 A Nightmare on Elm Street films (or Freddy films as some of you know them). These films are all over the place... Read the full blog post »

I had high hopes for THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR. Unfortunately, it proved to be yet another addition to the endless list of wasted opportunities at what could've been a good horror movie.

WHAT I LIKED: People praise today's Marvel Studios for choosing interesting directors and giving them the space to make the films that they want to make, but back in 2011, they did just that with Kenneth Branagh and 'Thor.'

WHAT I LIKED: 'Iron Man 3' is the sequel that Iron Man 2 should have been, as it takes a similarly interesting character premise (this time Tony's PTSD after the events of The Avengers) and crucially takes it seriously.

WHAT I LIKED: On the one hand, ‘Man of Steel’ is a surprisingly delicate character study that spends an awful lot of time grounding the most realistic, human and relatable version of Superman we’ve ever seen on the big screen. This is largel... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What's definitely most appealing about Marvel's 'Ant-Man,' is the high-concept creativity of its main growing and shrinking idea, as that unlocks the opportunity for some brilliantly charming set-pieces and some extremely effective c... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The second Mission: Impossible movie sees John Woo take the wheel from Brian De Palma, and on the one hand that means we get a very different visual style and some cheesy attempts at character development. Really though, it's still a... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Zack Snyder's 'Batman v Superman,' is basically a film of two halves, and the first is unquestionably an interesting and often successful thematic exploration of man's reaction to a God on earth.

WHAT I LIKED: You may be expecting a run-ofHthe-mill action movie, and what you get with 'Jack Reacher,' is certainly an element of that, but mostly it's a reasonably sophisticated crime-film. Mostly it's about intricate, twisty plotting and slow,... Read the full review »
