Furious 7 Review
It’s been fourteen years since the debut of The Fast and the Furious and the franchise is at again.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Review
The epic conclusion to this trilogy feels thin and sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread We’ve all been on an unexpectedly long journey with Bilbo Baggins since he joined the merry band of dwarves back in 2012.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For Review
Not Exactly the Dame You Were Hoping to Kill For It’s been a long time coming but after a nine year wait the sequel to the beloved cult hit Sin City has finally arrived. The original film was something of a technical marvel at the time thanks to its sleek groundbreaking effects used to tell Frank…
The Expendables 3 Review
Back in 2010 when Stallone first launched The Expendables, it was supposed to be a one off nostalgia trip with all of our favorite has-been action stars back for one last ride. Little did we know this was the beginning of a resurgence for Stallone’s career that would eventually lead to a slew of new…
