![]() Too fairy-tale-ish to be bone-chilling scary, but Babadook does a good job with its story-line about a monster obsessed son of a single mom, who eventually herself is convinced of the evil her son sees. Plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments for the horror fan, but as mentioned, nothing blood curdl… |

![]() Terrifically well-conceived SciFi Fantasy is rare. Add an ageless superstar in a role ideal for his particular set of skills, opposite a beautiful screen-queen making her buffed-up action debut, in a 3D production up to the challenge of visualizing time travel and interplanetary war, and you’re …

![]() Avengers: Age of Ultron is Avengers-worthy, as proven by its $200 million opening weekend and its Marvel-ous mix of human-scale comedy-drama amidst earthshaking fantasy. It’s also studded with LOLs, and not all them from Downey. He gets plenty, but the comic relief is more broadly spread around…

![]() Its tough to get a good read on this retelling of the classic tale. I can best describe it as the ‘Mad Max’ of Peter Pan re-telling’s, but I’m not sure eveyone will get that comparison. Suffice it to say its capitalizes on the well known story but adds great special effects and modern twists and… |

![]() Three intertwined Nuevo fairy tales done in a very surreal format, although the use of old England, castles, gypsies, and tournaments still abound. Twists and irony would make Edgar Allen Poe proud. A primo cast with Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones, John C. Reilly add big screen cred. |

![]() Now this is what a marvelous blockbuster should be. No surprise, as Marvel Entertainment always delivers. And talk about a monumental origin story, one that also harks back to existing plots! Wow. Plus, given that all the X-Men come out to play – all of them – it’s also a sequel in a way. Double …

![]() Deadpool is the superhero for a new generation, one that casually talks about a guy having a great ass. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It is – however – a new thing, with Deadpool now being a big thing. Ryan Reynolds is ideal to play Mr. Pool, a wisecracking stud who describe…

![]() Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is as heavy as its pretentious title suggests, with nary a great performance to elevate it. Yet this DC Comics blockbuster ably fulfills its duty of teasing nine sequels. It opens with a replay of Batman’s boyhood origin, Superman’s having been told by DC &…

![]() What happens when you capture some of DC Comics wackiest villains and figure out how to hold them hostage and make them help you save the world? A super human mess. The movie is quite a mess, but that doesn’t prevent you from enjoying the action. |
