Review: Game Night

Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star in Warner Bros. Pictures' GAME NIGHT

When it comes to friends getting together for the purposes of entertainment, there are plenty of things people do to amuse themselves. Eventually, you find what works and you keep doing it. That’s fine and everything, but sometimes you may need to switch things up a little bit to add excitement. That’s part of the plot for Game Night. Here …

Review: Dr. Strange

Benedict Cumberbatch stars in Marvel's DR. STRANGE

It’s perfectly safe for you to assume that this review of Dr. Strange won’t focus the least bit on the film’s antagonist.

With Southpaw, this is one feature that I worried about, but I also went into it thinking that we could …

Quietly Prolific: How True Detective’s Rachel McAdams Defies Typecasting

By Andy Hoglund
June 23, 2015

Rachel McAdams starring in the second season of HBO's "True Detective"

True Detective is back and already an abundance of ink has been spilled on a variety of topics: the show’s location change, its distracting new theme song, Colin Farrell’s moustache, Vince Vaughn’s turn against type. All worthy subjects. And yet, much like Rust Cohle’s search for the Yellow King, the true story is staring us in the face. For me, the most …
