I started writing this review just a day after seeing it. It has become a rarity for me to be able to write reviews so soon after I saw it but I felt… compelled, yeah that's the right word, to get my thoughts out as the film opens. Thankfully the embargo ends Wednesday night! I'm …

Guest Review – Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell no Tales (2017)
Directed By: Joachim Rønning, Espen Sandberg Written By: Jeff Nathanson Runtime: 2 hrs 9 minutes When I saw the first trailer for the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, I nearly sprained my eyeballs from rolling them so hard.

Guest Review: Everything, Everything (2017)
Directed By: Stella Meghie Written By: J. Mills Goodloe (screenplay) based on a book by Nicola Yoon Runtime: 1 hr 36 minutes I went into Everything, Everything with somewhat low expectations.

The Promise is a sobering, beautiful disappointment. The film has a beautiful score and decent cinematography, but is …

Well, I saw two Charlie Hunnam films in two weeks… The Lost City of Z and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. I really enjoyed both, the latter is enjoyable though probably not your thing if you don't like Guy …

Guest Review: CHRISTINE (2016)
Written/Directed By: Antonio Campos Cast: Rebecca Hall, Tracy Letts, J. Smith-Cameron, Michael C. Hall Runtime: 1 hr 59 minutes Depression and suicide do not make pretty subjects for a film. It is easy to produce a voyeuristic essay that exploits someone’s despair and self-destruction, but portraying tragedy without sensationalising or trivialising it is as tough as …
