Sully
As we near the time of the year when the movies take a turn for the dramatic and the award stakes get higher, the first film vying for entry into the field is the newest offering from Clint Eastwood about the Miracle on the Hudson and the miracle maker, Capt.

Alice Through the Looking Glass
Disney’s latest live action fairy tale is “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” the sequel to 2010’s “Alice in Wonderland.” However, the return to Underland is unfortunately heavy with CGI and light on emotion for viewers.

Gods of Egypt
Remember a few years ago when they remade ” Clash of the Titans” and tried to bring back the “swords and sandals” epic to the big screen? That film managed a sequel, but I somehow think “Gods of Egypt,” the Egyptian twist of the genre, is one film that deserves to be drowned in the…

Deadpool
We lived through the regrettable “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and had our first cinematic experience with Wade Wilson a.k.a. Deadpool a.k.a The Merc With a Mouth. Now, after fan embraced leaked test footage for a real Deadpool movie, it has arrived, and just in time for Valentine’s Day. “Deadpool” was never going to be the PG-13…
