Review: Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

(L-r) Ki Hong Lee, Dylan O'Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Dexter Darden and Kaya Scodelario star in 20th Century Fox's MAZE RUNNER: THE SCORCH TRIALS

Maze Runner isn’t exactly what I would consider to be a good movie, but it sold well enough to warrant a continuation of the franchise on the big screen. Because of that, we have Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. It wasn’t something that interested me, but I was willing to give it a chance since it is actually moving into …

Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart in Lionsgate FIlms' AMERICAN ULTRA

In a summer filled with spy films, it’s only fitting that the last month of the season gives us another one in the form of American Ultra.

Rupert Friend stars in 20th Century Fox's HITMAN: AGENT 47

It’s hard to make a character like Agent 47 interesting when it comes to movies. In video games, it’s a lot easier since you’re controlling the character, but in film, you’ll start to notice the lack of personality or anything else that may make things interesting. That’s an issue that Hitman: Agent 47 has to deal with, but unfortunately, there …
