Review: Birds of Prey: and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn

Margot Robbie stars in Warner Bros. Pictures' BIRDS OF PREY: AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN

At the very least, Birds of Prey had the potential to be fun. I felt this way before seeing it because it centers around the insane character of Harley Quinn and is steering more toward an adult audience. Of course, this allows for a certain amount of freedom that could give us something memorable even if it isn’t amazing. After …

(L-R) Henry Golding, Charlie Hunnam, Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell, Michelle Dockery, and Hugh Grant star in STX Entertainment's THE GENTLEMEN

(Center) George MacKay stars in Universal Pictures' 1917

Before even watching a single second of 1917, I assumed it would at least be nominated for several film awards.

Michael B. Jordan stars in Warner Bros. Pictures' JUST MERCY along with Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson

Most of us probably don’t know Bryan Stevenson, Walter McMillian, or the unfortunate set of circumstances that brought them together. And while we don’t know this specific story, we’ve seen and heard about stories just like this for generations now. That’s one reason why Just Mercy will be familiar to people who see it, but how you feel about its …
