Hail, Caesar! I spent almost two hours trying to figure out what this Hail, Caesar! was about.  Was it a farce? Was it wry look at the 1950s movie business and the studio system?  Was it a commentary on Communism and McCarthyism?  I’m still not sure, and walked away confused and befuddled.

Pride, Prejudice and Zombies The studio directive of keeping Pride, Prejudice and Zombies PG-13/kid friendly, as well as the sloppy editing of Padraic McKinley, will certainly contribute to this film not becoming a cult hit.

Bridge of Spies As usual, Spielberg’s work is amazing. He is truly a master at his trade craft. He expertly directs this period piece like only Stephen Spielberg can.

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs Signature Edition Over the years, there have been occasional releases of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs to appeal to the next generation of animated movie watchers, and now, seven years after the Diamond edition Blu-ray release, Disney is offering the Signature Edition.  While the beloved story hasn’t changed, some of the special features are different on this release.

Our Brand Is Crisis As far as political movies go, Our Brand is Crisis sadly doesn’t make the statement it had the potential to make.

The Finest Hours I also had flashbacks a few times to a similar film, The Perfect Storm, as I watched the small ship battle to crest the waves barreling down upon them.

Kung Fu Panda 1 / Kung Fu Panda 2 Ultimate Edition of Awesomeness With a fantastic cast and terrific animation, Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2 are fun and enjoyable and an entertaining movie for everyone.

The Devil Wears Prada While slightly shallow and scathing at times, The Devil Wears Prada takes a harsh look at the Fashion industry and doesn’t always paint it in the best light. 

Everest Upon my initial watching of Everest​, I found the first 25 minutes fairly boring.  However, after watching the film a second time I was more interested and invested in the characters, which made me pay closer attention.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl Diary of a Teenage Girl is certainly an in your face, realistic view of the world of a teenage girl and Powley plays her beautifully.  Her balancing act between innocence and maturity seems genuine and engages the audience to join her on her journey.
