Review: The King of Staten Island

Pete Davidson stars in Universal Pictures' THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND

I always worry about movies being longer than they need to be. That’s an issue that has made its way through Hollywood for years now.

Christian Bale stars in Paramount's THE BIG SHORT

Beyond blatant social and political flubs, one of the worst offenses a film can commit is assuming its audience is made up entirely of idiots. Films that talk down to the audience, or over explain the plot, feel like having a conversation with a person who is certain they are smarter than you and want you to know it. They …
