Blu-ray Review: ‘Deepwater Horizon’

Chic January 4, 2017

This wonderfully cast disaster movie is created with such fervor and up-close intensity that it’s hard to fathom how director Peter Berg made it all come together so perfectly. It’s extremely odd to enjoy watching something that leaves you weak in the knees once ...Read More

Review: ‘Passengers’ Wastes Both Its Stars & A Great Premise

Chic December 23, 2016

After 45 minutes, “Passengers” is well on its way to becoming a high concept psychological drama that happens to take place on a spaceship. In that short amount of time, the movie creates all sorts of arguments involving the human condition, such as loneliness ...Read More

Review: ‘La La Land’ Is The Perfect Blend Of Music, Movies, & Bliss

Chic December 16, 2016

The first few seconds of “La La Land” show off one of the worst things about the city of Los Angeles: bumper to bumper traffic in the searing heat. But then, as the camera slides past these strangers, something happens. One person bursts into ...Read More

Review: Do Not RSVP To This “Office Christmas Party”

Chic December 7, 2016

There are many very funny people in “Office Christmas Party.” This is a plus because while you are watching and not laughing, you can think about all the other films or projects these people were in and wonder what the heck they are doing ...Read More

Blu-ray Review: ‘Suicide Squad’

Chic December 7, 2016

In all their haste to catch up with the Marvel movie world, Warner Brothers and DC have forgotten one key thing: making coherent movies with any shred of entertainment value. Luckily, “Suicide Squad” is the light years ahead of “Man of Steel” and the ...Read More

Blu-ray Review: ‘Hands Of Stone’

Chic November 21, 2016

The most frustrating aspect of “Hands of Stone” is that somewhere in the 105 minutes of movie is a great film about Panamanian boxing legend Roberto Duran. Instead, it’s buried under far too many subplots and characters that are far more fun to be ...Read More

Review: ‘Nocturnal Animals’ Is As Dark & Haunting As It Is Ambitious

Chic November 16, 2016

In director/writer Tom Ford’s “Nocturnal Animals”, a character advises another who is aspiring to be an author to “stop writing about himself.” He replies by saying that everyone writes about themselves and it’s clear after about fifteen minutes of this movie that Ford has ...Read More

Blu-ray Review: ‘Hell Or High Water’ Is A Guaranteed Oscar Contender & One Of 2016’s Best

Chic November 9, 2016

There’s a lot of populist boogeymen in the news today, ranging from “evil” corporations to “scary” foreigners. But if there is one straw man that most everyone can agree upon, it’s predatory banks and the effect it has on entire communities. That is exactly ...Read More

Review: Everyone Can Learn From The Masterpiece Of ‘Arrival’

Chic November 9, 2016

Director Denis Villeneuve’s “Arrival” couldn’t hit theaters at a more apropos time. Current events have ripped apart the fabric of basic human decency and this awe-inspiring tale of optimism, unity, and togetherness could actually be a teaching moment for thousands of people all over ...Read More

Review: Get Existential With The Fantastic ‘Dr. Strange’

Chic November 2, 2016

If Marvel was ever going to bomb, it would be with “Dr. Strange.” Characters like Spider Man or Captain America crept into the public consciousness decades ago, while Dr. Strange remained a cult-like hero on the fringe of the superhero universe. Just like “Ant ...Read More
