  • King Arthur: Legend of the Sword & Alien: Covenant Reviews

    This week made for a unique episode of the show. Two movies and putting our ratings together still wouldn't get you a good movie. King Arthur had a lot of potential, and even some fun moments, but even in theory it was all over the place. Alien: Covenant was an almost surreal experience, though not an unexpected one when looking back on the last film.

  • Beauty and the Beast & Kong: Skull Island Reviews
    We managed our biggest divide this week, as Beauty and the Beast somehow pulled us in wildly different directions.
    It was never going to change how many people hit this one in theaters, but Shane just wasn’t won over. Though we both appreciated Emma Watson in the role, I found a lot more to like about the effort. We did agree that the “Be Our Guest” scene was something of a misfire, going full Wonka in the middle of a film where that didn’t fit at all.
    Kong: Skull Island, on the other hand, didn’t impress either of us. There’s nothing with a good monster movie, though I’m not sure that it’s a genre that needs to continue, but this one seemed to have little idea what it was doing. At times, it felt as though 20-minute chunks were directed by different people who were all in the dark about what else was being filmed.

  • The Circle & The Fate of the Furious Review

    Bigger summer features kick off in a strange pairing as we look at The Fate of the Furious and The Circle. It's hard to tell if either of these films need a critic, or get any benefit/hinderance from good/bad reviews, but we'll let you know if they're worth your time.

    We'll also give you a rundown of some of the cooler films we caught at Tribeca, and some of them were really good.

  • Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Review

    The summer gets underway with The Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and we'll let you know if you need to make sure to get to this one. Spoiler, it's a lot of fun.

    We also take you through some of the films headed your way, and discuss recent industry news, including the wild life of Hellboy.

  • Going in Style Review

    We're reviewing Going in Style this week as we prepare for Tribeca, and what a curious effort it is. Some favorite actors come together to comment on society through the wild idea of retirees who lose their pensions going after a bank job.

    We'll also let you in on some of the latest industry news, keep you in the loop on what's coming up, and otherwise give you some insight into the movie world.

  • Ghost in the Shell Review

    Ghost in the Shell quickly became a film surrounded by controversy, which may have had a lot to do with the box-office for a film with Scarlett Johansson floundering. But, is this one any good, and how does it compare to the anime? We'll let you know if you need to get to this one, and we'll let you in on the usual industry news and other fun stuff.

  • Beauty & The Beast & Kong Reviews

    When news of The Matrix reboot hit us, we were again staggered by Hollywood's inability to come up with something new. Then we realized we were reviewing Kong: Skull Island and Beauty and the Beast.

    It's an world of film these days.

    You might not be surprised to learn that Kong didn't blow us away, but Beauty and the Beast saw perhaps our biggest difference in ratings ever.

  • Logan Review

    We're taking a look at Logan this week, and you may not be surprised to learn that we were not that far away from each other in our ratings.

    It looks to be the final time we'll see either of these actors in these roles, so the question is, do they go out on a big high? They certainly have no problems if the box office can be believed, even if the March record may not last until the end of this March.

    We'll let you know if you need to get out to this one. Spoiler alert, you do.

  • Get Out Review, Oscar Recap, The Can't Win Awards, And More
    Get Out is crushing word-of-mouth and is already a hit at the box office, especially if you consider the film's price tag. Does it live up to the hype? We'll let you know if you need to get to this one.
    We're also covering the Oscars, and the craziness that made up Sunday night, and it's finally time for our annual "Can't Win" awards, where we shine the spotlight on movies and actors who deserve some recognition, but aren't actually among the possible nominees for anyone's awards.
