Review: The Predator

Image from 20th Century Fox's THE PREDATOR

There’s always a place for a good Predator movie. That’s why I was open to this release from Shane Black. It seemed to have an interesting cast to go along with the monster made famous back in the 1980’s in one of the movies that helped turn Arnold Schwarzenegger into a star. In being reasonable, I wasn’t asking for them …

Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively star in Lionsgate Films' A SIMPLE FAVOR

With Paul Feig being known as a comedic director, it was weird seeing his name attached to a project that didn’t seem to focus on getting laughs.

Review: Mile 22

Mark Wahlberg stars in STX Films' MILE 22

I wasn’t hoping for an amazing piece of cinematic art to come from Mile 22. My only desire heading in that it would be an action-packed, violent, and to the point action flick that people could be thoroughly entertained by. On the surface, it seemed like one of those movies that could fill that void with a no-nonsense approach that wasn’t …
