The Intern
Nancy Meyers' The Intern highlights how the elderly shouldn't be overlooked in society, focusing on meaningful relationships beyond the typical romantic dynamic
Ride Along 2
If you take Ride Along 2 for what it is…a fun non-thinking every-man's movie, it isn’t terrible. The plot is thin and recycled and the acting is less than Oscar worthy, but there are a few laughs that make the movie watchable.
The Martian
There is so much The Martian does right it’s no wonder it is a possible Oscar contender.
Sinister 2
The premise of these films is the “aesthetic observance of violence… as well as the use of rituals” to summon the evil presence of the Bughuul or boogeyman.
The Visit
While there are some scary moments in the film, overall, the movie is more of a comedy than a thriller. The surprise ending had me on the edge of my seat but the other 83, give or take a few, minutes were quite drab.
We Are Your Friends
"Are we ever gonna be better than this?", Cole screams from the mic. Well, the truth is, probably not. We are Your Friends isn't going to be up for any of the major awards this season, but like so many films made in this genre, it does have the feel-good factor.
The Transporter: Refueled
Sadly, sitting through Transporter: Refueled to the end was a painful experience. The story is boring, the acting is mediocre for the most part, and the fight scenes are ridiculously unrealistic.
The Green Inferno
The Green Inferno has many valid points to make, not least of which, about the nature of arm-chair protesters and how their need to “Trend” is more important than the subjects about which they are protesting about.
X-Files: The Collector's Set
Sit back and relive the past, refresh your memories and enjoy what you loved most about The X-Files once again.
