The Blackcoat's Daughter

May 30, 2017

The mostly young cast does a superb job of creating Perkin’s vision. While his dialogue is simplistic, the silences say just as much, if not more. Roberts’ subtle depiction of a mental patient is a sharp contrast to Shipka’s more overtly possessed performance.

Fist Fight

May 30, 2017

While not a unique concept, the movie has some great lines and laugh out loud moments. I promise you, it picks up 30 minutes before the end of the movie and slides into home plate for a home run of an ending.

Logan

May 30, 2017

It is a shame that we finally get to see “The Wolverine” as he was intended to be, but struggling with his powers since his time has finally come...it would have been nice to see one more film with Hugh Jackman in his full glory as Wolverine (and an R rating) before getting to this story.

Girls: The Complete Sixth Season

May 22, 2017

There is a reason Girls is an awarding winning show and Season Six is holding to the tradition of excellent writing and acting. The season is well thought out and gripping and gives the audience some of that “personal growth” we have been wanting from these characters.

Unforgiven

May 16, 2017

Unforgiven brought Eastwood to a whole new level of filmmaking and changed the concept of the old westerns. Munny is a flawed yet human character anyone can relate to and Hackman’s performance is nuanced.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

May 16, 2017

Mila Jovovich is impressive and her battle skills are on point and apparently, she did her own stunts, which is amazing. She commands attention in this film and not just because she is the lead. She has a presence as Alice that is undeniable.

Orange Is The New Black Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Complete Fourth Season

May 09, 2017

These actors take the words they are given and breathe a life into them that can send chills down your spine. Their inflections and delivery are well thought out and deliberate and each member of the cast adds a nuanced layer to the whole show.

The Complete First Season

May 08, 2017

One of the best parts of this show is the cast. Parker is spot on as the mother of two, working woman who is unhappy enough to seek lust from some other means outside her marriage.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

May 04, 2017

Overall, Guardians Vol. 2 still had elements of the original and even though it started off slow, it picked up steam to a supercharged, somewhat hokey ending.

Gold

May 02, 2017

While not his best performance, McConaughey is still interesting, as he adds dimensions and layers to an overall boring guy who just happens to have a dream and it is this dream that keeps us interested in the film (Gold).
