The Intern
The Intern certainly isn’t going to win any major awards, but it is a light hearted, fun look at retirement and the generation gap.

Black Mass
Black Mass isn’t a docudrama, nor is it a “gangster” film; and, as a straightforward drama it just isn’t all that strong.
The Visit
For those looking for a jump out of your seat, wet your pants, scary, gory slasher film, The Visit isn’t it. It is more psychological in nature and what I would classify as a thinking man’s horror thriller.
We Are Your Friends
Entertaining as it is, and with some good acting thrown in, I think We Are Your Friends misses the mark in some aspects and won’t be a blockbuster in theaters.
American Ultra
American Ultra couldn’t decide if it was a serious spy movie or a parody of a spy movie, which confused the audience and left each individual trying to figure out what the purpose of the movie was.
Straight Outta Compton
The two hour and thirty minute running time is long and there were definitely scenes that could have been made shorter or cut out all together. However, Straight Outta Compton definitely is worth seeing, even if you can’t relate to rap music.
The End of The Tour
Jason Segel is brilliant as Wallace, a highly intelligent individual who, like many tortured writers, battled addiction and depression. He plays Wallace with such depth and intensity that you can see the wheels turning in Wallace’s brain.
Ant-Man
I am curious to see how Lang/ANT-MAN merges with Captain America and the Avengers and it seems I won’t have to wait long as the ending credits set it up perfectly for him to make an appearance in Captain America: Civil War in 2016.
Trainwreck
While Trainwreck wasn’t my favorite film, you could find a worse way to spend your time and money. For the majority of moviegoers, it will be a great, funny film that you will probably be talking about with your coworkers.
The Minions
Minions -- If there is one take away from the film, it would have to be this…KING BOB!!!!!
