John Delia | Mar 05, 2014

Full Review | Grade: B

Non-Stop

John Delia | Feb 28, 2014

Non-Stop Is An above average film with a good measure of suspense.

Full Review | Grade: C

The Counselor

Chris Rebholz | Feb 27, 2014

The Counselor doesn't divulge its secrets easily, and in fact this is one film that virtually requires (at least) a second viewing.

Full Review | Grade: B

Gravity

Chris Rebholz | Feb 24, 2014

Regardless of how well Gravity fares at this year's Academy Awards, it's a stunning achievement in filmmaking unlike anything that's ever come before.

The Americans Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Americans: Season One

Chris Rebholz | Feb 24, 2014

I frankly never completely bought into The Americans' conceit, that said, the show is intricately structured and features some fantastically fun (and sometimes unexpectedly funny) performances.

Full Review | Grade: B

3 Days to Kill

John Delia | Feb 20, 2014

3 Days To Kill Is An action thriller from opening to finale with a little comedy in between.

Full Review | Grade: B

The Fifth Estate

Chris Rebholz | Feb 19, 2014

The Fifth Estate suffers with scattershot direction, slippery scripting and hit or miss casting, with Cumberbatch doing his best but succumbing to a mediocre screenplay and Condon's wishy washy vision.

Full Review | Grade: B

Baggage Claim

Chris Rebholz | Feb 19, 2014

The cast of Baggage Claim is certainly game and tries hard, but there's the whiff of desperation in many scenes. You've seen all of this before, and in better films, to boot. Maybe even a couple by Tyler Perry, perish the thought.

Full Review | Grade: D

Free Birds

Chris Rebholz | Feb 19, 2014

Younger kids (like way younger kids) will probably get a kick out of Free Birds, but for anyone past the tot stage, this film will seem old, tired and derivative.
