The Hunting Party
I settled in to watch The Hunting Party with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation. On the one hand, I usually like anything starring Richard Gere, and on the other,
Hank and Asha
Hank and Asha is a romance that is one step ahead of You've Got Mail, while holding back slightly from watching two people chat via Skype. Our two titular characters
Divergent (2014)
Setting: Dystopian Chicago—the buildings are decrepit, the water of the lake and the Chicago River seems to have retreated, and there is a tall electric wall built around the city.
Under the Skin
Under the Skin is one of those films, like the acclaimed head-scratcher 2001: A Space Odyssey, that will totally divide audiences. I've already seen early acclaim, proclaiming "Four stars!" and
Need for Speed (2014)
There are terrible movies that are still fun to watch. You turn off your brain and reason, and sit in front of the screen, slack-jawed. Then there are just bad
Dr. T & the Women (2000)
Let's just say that if my life were as hectic as Dr. T's, I would have to run far, far away. With all that is going on in this movie,

American Pie (1999)
Not to be bitter or anything (as I grumble, "Goddamn kids these days..." and bang my cane on the floor), but I don't think that the teenage movies of my
Dolphin Tale 2 (2014)
Dolphin Tale was a surprise hit family film with a heartwarming true story of an injured dolphin named Winter that finds a new lease on life with a prosthetic tale.
Into the Woods
Based on the 1987 Tony-nominated Broadway musical of the same name, Into the Woods shows what could happen if you threw a bunch of fairy tale characters together in the
Unbroken (2014)
Peppered with flashbacks to highlight key moments from Zamperini’s formative years – including his introduction to long-distance running as a boy, and his headline-making appearance at the 1936 Berlin Olympics
Pride (2014)
I have to say that if someone had just told me the idea of the story of Pride without any historical context, I would have thought it was incredible (as
The Good Lie
It is hard to dislike a movie that has such earnestness behind it; a movie with a story that deserves, no, needs to be told to Westerners. There are certain
