Happy Death Day (2017)

Happy Death Day (2017)

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

[7] After a mediocre beginning and a truly shitty-ass sequel, Marvel has made the wise decision of scrapping the Thor character as originally conceived and giving him a personality make-over. And that's why it feels like Thor has been possessed by Star Lord…
This Means War (2012)

This Means War (2012)

[7] Chris Pine, Tom Hardy, and Reese Witherspoon star in this McG-directed comedy-action flick about two CIA guys who find themselves competing for the same woman's affections. The script is born of stale formula, but the plot is kept out of the…
Mother! (2017)

Mother! (2017)

The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017)

The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017)

Logan Lucky (2017)

Logan Lucky (2017)

[6] Don't expect a joke-riddled laugh riot with Logan Lucky. The movie's more of a quirky ensemble character piece by way of a heist movie. Channing Tatum and Adam Driver star as West Virginia brothers who conspire with a jailed safe-breaker (played by…
Coco (2017)

Coco (2017)

[9] Coco is a lively and emotionally fulfilling film that stands proudly among the many accomplishments of Pixar Animation. Anthony Gonzalez plays the role of 12-year-old Miguel, a boy with a deep passion for music, despite his family's strict prohibition against enjoying…
