The Visit

Emily Hazlett | Jan 11, 2016

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

Paul Kates | Jan 11, 2016

"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

Allison Rose | Jan 06, 2016

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

Leonard Buccellato | Jan 05, 2016

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.

Pan

Allison Rose | Dec 22, 2015

Presented in 1080p high definition video, the picture is very impressive with fantastic colors and extremely clear images. The 3D version of the film pops off the screen and add great depth to the presentation of the film.

Ted 2

Nathan M Rose | Dec 15, 2015

While the first film was just exploring the world of Ted and his best friend, John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg; Transformers: Age of Extinction), the new film expands the storyline and tries to answer the age old question - what makes someone, or something, human?

Ant-Man

Nathan M Rose | Dec 08, 2015

While Kevin Feige does try to keep the look and feel of most stories told in the Marvel Cinematic Universe the same, he does allow some directors to add a little bit of their own distinctive tone to the film. Such is the case with Ant-Man’s director, Peyton Reed (Yes Man).

The Minions

Nathan M Rose | Dec 07, 2015

Overall, Minions has a very upbeat quality to it, and while the story is a bit lacking, the hijinks of the Minions help save the film from becoming another film in the 3D animated cannon fodder.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Extended UK Edition

Paul Kates | Nov 23, 2015

So, after fourteen years and six movies, does this disc set bring an end to Peter Jackson's love affair with middle earth? Who knows, but, if it is the case, it's a worthy conclusion, and, along with the other five movies before it, it should be in everyone home collection.
