DOG Review: Sometimes The Old Tricks Work Just Fine
We all know the saying, “A dog is a man’s best friend.” And it tracks. Dogs are the best. And they show time and again that they just might be too good for us. Well that notion is put to the test in the aptly named Dog, the Channing Tatum-starring buddy road trip comedy-drama – […]
UNCHARTED Review: Fun Adventure, But Fails To Find Its Own Identity
Uncharted is the latest foray into the all-encompassing “video game movie” genre. It’s a genre littered with less-than movies that failed to live up to their fans’ expectations.

Liam Neeson is not the young man he once was. He’s not even the middle-aged or just-over-middle-aged […]
DEATH ON THE NILE Review
On paper, Death on the Nile, should be a slam dunk hit. A few big names and beautiful people. A murder mystery set against an exotic backdrop with an eccentric detective at the center of it all, surrounded by eccentric suspects. And on those fronts, at least, it succeeds. But unfortunately the pieces that fill […]
