Review: Good Boys
The Seth Rogen produced “Good Boys” has a surprising amount of heart, but don’t worry, it’s still gross.

Review: Glass
The long awaited final film in M. Night Shyamalan’s trilogy is here and it is about as fun as eating broken glass… While it finally unites Bruce Willis, Jame McAvoy, and Samuel L Jackson, the reunion is a less than interesting one with a messy and convoluted plot. If you’ve been anticipating this for a…

Jordan Peele’s Get Out is the Challenge We All Need
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…
