      It’s not every day that you go to the movies and get to be both entertained and challenged. Though he’s best known as half of the comedy duo Key & Peele, Jordan Peele’s directorial debut Get Out is billed as a horror movie. What’s even scarier, however, is the mirror it holds up to the state…

    Jordan Peele is our cinematic savior with his directorial debut “Get Out” – he wrote and directed a funny, thrilling film that happens to confront race issues and tensions head on while still being entertaining. The movie isn’t perfect by any means, but in comparison to some of the other films we’ve seen this year,…

    On a scale of one to absolutely not, how chill would you feel hanging in one of the most haunted locations in Europe? @CureForWellness pic.twitter.com/9rGnqaNYNh — Google Play (@GooglePlay) February 18, 2017

    Another disappointing week at the movies, with some squandered opportunities by mega directors Gore Verbinski and Zhang Yimou. First off is the “first blockbuster of it’s scale to be filmed entirely in China” – “The Great Wall” which features a horribly accented Matt Damon fighting ugly lizard monsters at the Great Wall of China. If…

    We had the pleasure of interviewing the one and only Mark Duplass, who may be one of the hardest working people in “showbiz” right now. We appreciated how utterly candid and self aware he was in this presentation and interview. He also doled out some great advice, advice that honestly probably equated to several (expensive)…

    There’s bad and then there’s “Fifty Shades Darker.” I could not stand this film, it made no sense, and I’ll tell you why in the audio review.  Thankfully this week also offers “The LEGO Batman Movie” which was a breath of fresh air during what has been an abysmal start to the year.  This week…

    This week brings a very special review. In that the film is terrible, and I’m actually going to lower the rating for “The Space Between Us.” I was too generous in the audio review, and upon wasting more time thinking about the film (time I never get from my life back) I am lowering it…

    ​This week’s review is “Gold” starring Matthew McConaughey, Bryce Dallas Howard, Edgar Ramirez, Corey Stoll, and Toby Kebbell. Unfortunately it is far from gold in terms of quality.Since the film is loosely based on a true story, emphasis on loosely, the review contains mild spoilers. It also doesn’t take a true detective (har har) to…

    If you don’t know J. A. Bayona yet, you will, as he’s at the helm of the next “Jurassic World” sequel! I dare you to get through “A Monster Calls” without tissues. The film also features some amazing practical/VFX hybrid moments, some gorgeous animated storytelling, and of course, gut wrenching dramatic performances.
