Gran Turismo
Director Neill Blomkamp takes the audience “along for the ride” as camera angles offer views from inside the vehicle, the spectator stands, and the helicopter overhead giving a broad view of the racers and the track.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter
Staying true to the mysticism and the horror of the novel, director André Øvredal offers the audience a slow burn that is perhaps a little too slow.
Meg 2: The Trench
Meg 2: The Trench's special effects are hit or miss with some of them being huge misses.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is pure entertainment at its finest and a film the whole family will enjoy.
Haunted Mansion
If you love the Disney attraction, you won't be disappointed by this new take on the Haunted Mansion's theme.
The Miracle Club
The Miracle Club has several messages to offer…from not holding grudges to believing in miracles, and it delivers them pragmatically.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning
Almost three hours fly by in what seems like 90-100 minutes and as the credits roll, the audience leaves the theater wanting more (luckily, part two will be released next summer).
Joy Ride
The script is smart even as it resorts to toilet humor and Lim does a great job setting the scenes.
