Finding Dory Movie / Film Review
Finding Dory
Finding Dory is obviously one of this summer’s animated blockbusters and Disney/Pixar are counting on our love of the original film to draw audiences to the movie. Luckily, the film has the quality to make people want to see it.

Now You See Me 2 Movie / Film Review
Now You See Me 2
From a purely entertainment stand point, Now You See Me 2 is an interesting two hours and for budding magicians it’s probably a must see.  However, as with many sequels, it doesn’t equal the original.

Me Before You Movie / Film Review
Me Before You
There is a reason Warner Bros. distributed tissues during the preview screening, so if you are in need of a good cry, I highly recommend Me Before You.

Weiner Movie / Film Review
Weiner
Weiner is not a likable guy and the camera is not kind to him.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising Movie / Film Review
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising has so many holes in it you could drive a Mack Truck though them but it’s meant to be a brainless comedy and it certainly achieves that goal.

The Nice Guys Movie / Film Review
The Nice Guys
While not as strong, or cohesive, as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys is still a humorous film with a multi-layered plot underneath.

Captain America: Civil War Movie / Film Review
Captain America: Civil War
Most diehard fans will find enough similarities between the comic books and the movie to feel satisfied that Marvel stayed true to the plot. Those that have never read the comic books but enjoyed the other superhero offerings won’t be disappointed by this latest installment.

The Huntsman: Winter's War Movie / Film Review
The Huntsman: Winter's War
The real problem with Huntsman: Winter’s War is the plot.  It’s boring and unnecessary.  I think the filmmakers are banking on the hype created by the previous off-camera scandal to put bodies in the theater.

Criminial Movie / Film Review
Criminial
Criminal is a very nondescript title for a somewhat interesting film, and that is only the first of a few of the problems plaguing Director Ariel Vromen’s (The Iceman) newest release.
