Even though all the available evidence suggests that the once-lucrative, dystopian YA adaptation trend has run its course, the producers behind the Divergent series would beg to differ. Given its derivative, original plot and logic-challenged world building, Veronica Roth’s YA series didn’t exactly merit big-screen adaptations, but here we are, three films

STEVE JOBS delivers on almost every front, but can’t escape the shadow of ‘The Social Network’.

THE MARTIAN: A taut, tense thriller with practically everything moviegoers could possibly want from a 21st century “Robinson Crusoe on Mars.”

DUMB AND DUMBER TO: Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels return as the lovable dumbies Harry and Lloyd.

It’s a new year and that means a whole big batch of new movies! 2014 is sure to make any film lover excited!

To start off, I apologize for the lateness of this review. I know my wide readership was clamoring for my thoughtful, crafted and radiant words, salivating at the chance to hang on to every turn of phrase and witticism. I apologize, yes, because I was watching football. This week’s episode

The Newsroom, where have you been all my life? This is an astounding episode with only minor kinks. The troublesome moments, embedded in some strange set-ups, are no match for the performances by the cast here. And everyone is on point. From the White Team to the Read Team. Everyone.

Is it just me or The Newsroom is season 2 finding its groove? After last week’s episode, we find ourselves treated with a patient episode.

This season of The Newsroom has been a mess. If you’ve read my reviews you know how I feel. I’ve said I want to see Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) behind the news desk more. And with that, I want to see the characters reacting to these news stories and revealing ways

It’s tough for me to say this is one of the better efforts from The Newsroom this season. Last week is still better, I feel.

Was this episode of The Newsroom supposed to run as episode 1 this season? They touched on every thread from Season 1 and handled it nicely.

This week on The Newsroom, Jim (John Gallagher, Jr.) is on the road and things are not improving.

A quick word about my thoughts on Season One of The Newsroom: I didn’t cover it last season, so I felt I needed to dump my thoughts on season one, just to set the tone for my reviews.

Here are some of the cool Blu-ray and DVD releases for this week. This week we got a small amount of releases with Looper and Justified: The Complete Third Season being the best releases this week and should be bought!  Here’s a clip from Looper: [springboard type=”video” id=”633681″ player=”scin001″ width=”560″ height=”315″ ] And

When you think of film and time-travel there are a lot of movies that come to mind: The Time Machine, Back to the Future, The Terminator and Primer to name a few. Rian Johnson (Brick and The Brothers Bloom) has decided to throw his hat in with the sub-genre and while I will not say that it redefines it, it definitely uses the ideas that have already been established by the films that came before it and adds a twist on it to create one of the most enjoyable science-fiction experiences you’ll see this year.

Each day before the beginning of every month, I’ll spotlight four films you should see each week and why, including trailers, clips, pictures and anything else I can. They’ll either be films coming out in theaters that week or something on Netflix I think you should see. The kind of
