Woman of The Hour did an amazing job of capturing a time and place while still keeping it relevant for today’s world.
Anna Kendrick directs and stars in the ridiculous true story of a serial killer who won a date on a TV game show mid-killing spree in “Woman of the Hour.”

The Day Shall Come is so cartoonish that it just doesn’t feel believable or possible, let alone historical fact.
Paul Feig’s latest, A Simple Favor, sees him unshackle himself from his comedy ties – unfortunately, the result is a subpar Gone Girl wannabe.

Walking out of the theater, all I could think about was how much I had enjoyed watching The Accountant. It had the right amount of action, comedic relief and character depth – specifically with the film’s main character, Christian Wolff. When it came time to sit and write about what I had seen, though, I found that this great movie may have been more lacking than I had initially thought.
