There Will Be Blood, Come Hell or High Water. Writer/director Scott Wiper appears to be wanting to give his latest movie “The Big Ugly” a Quentin Tarantino, Coen Brothers, and Guy Ritchie […]
The Big Ugly
Radioactive
Rosamund Pike is solid Au as the woman behind radioactive activity. “Radioactive” is a biopic on the Polish and naturalized French physicist and chemist Marie Curie, who is portrayed fascinatingly by Rosamund […]
The Painted Bird

The Outpost
The exact opposite of “13 Hours,” and that’s the way I like it. “The Outpost” is a modern war movie, which takes place during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) from 2001 to 2014. […]
The Truth
This family drama can’t handle the truth! I was expecting more in the story and character development in “The Truth,” the latest feature from writer/director Hirokazu Koreeda (“Shoplifters”). It mostly focuses on […]
