(Paul Kates) 9/13/2015 11:59 AM EST London in the 1960's was a hub for gangland crime, but there was one gang that stood out from the rest - The Kray's. "Legend", directed by Brian Helgeland (Payback, Mystic River), brings the biographical story of the celebrity gangsters Ronnie and Reggie to the big screen, with Tom Hardy (Bronson, The Dark Knight Rises) playing bo...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/10/2015 11:28 AM EST Like some of M. Night Shyamalan's other movies, The Visit ends with a twist you didn't see coming. I expected the typical poltergeist infestation or supernatural explanation for the characters' behavior, but what I ultimately got was much darker and more realistic. It almost makes you wonder what sort of demonic dialogue goes on inside ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/26/2015 4:07 PM EST Zac Efron (Neighbors) seems to gravitate towards movies that incorporate music. From singing and dancing in his earlier roles, to his latest film We Are Your Friends, Efron has a connection that will most likely follow him and pop up from time to time throughout his career. As Cole Carter, a DJ trying to make it in the LA scen... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/20/2015 4:35 PM EST Take Clerks, Mission: Impossible, and Point of No Return and mix them all together in a bowl. Dump the mix into rolling papers and you've made yourself a movie called American Ultra. Coming to theaters August 21, 2015, it is a mish-mosh of other good films trying to be played off as an original idea, but not succeedi... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 8/20/2015 4:08 PM EST Creating a film based on a video game property is a tough sell to audiences. In fact, there have been very few films that financially have accomplished this. Now, this August, 20th Century Fox tries yet again to translate the video game franchise Hitman to the silver screen with Hitman: Agent 47.If you aren't familiar with the Hitman property or Ag...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/13/2015 11:20 AM EST The streets of Compton were a hard place to grow up in the 1980s. Guns, gangs, drugs and violence were prevalent, and a young black man was lucky just to stay alive, let alone not go to jail. However, the Compton of the 80's also produced some of the best innovators of rap music in the industry. Straight Outta Compton is the story o... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 8/13/2015 10:26 AM EST The film industry is full of cycles. Every couple of years, a new genre takes over the industry's slate of film releases. One can easily argue that, lately, it has been the superhero/comic book genre. However, another one has slowly crept into the mix in 2015; the spy film.This year has already seen Kingsman: The Secret Service, Mission: Imposs... Read More |
