The Brothers Grimsby (2016)
Sacha Baron Cohen (Les Miserables, The Dictator) continues his formula of crass, envelope-pushing comedies with The Brothers Grimsby (aka Grimsby outside of the US). The formula consists of trying to elicit laughs through sheer outrageousness, absurdity, and lots and...
Gods of Egypt (2016)
Gods of Egypt is what I would deem a ‘rancid undies’ kind of movie, a film so overblown in its ability to deliver nonsensical absurdity that only those with a curious penchant for the distinct...

13 Hours takes place during a volatile time in Libya, shortly after the overthrow and murder of their dictator, Muammar Gadaffi, in 2011. Various factions began their scramble for power, starting with raiding the...
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Into Darkness) strips away the lumbering effect of the Star Wars prequels and gets back to the golly-gee-whiz action-fantasy we’ve all come to know and love from the original Star Wars (aka A New Hope), and while...
