The all-star cast of “Dirty Grandpa,” including Zac Efron and Robert De Niro, is sadly this film’s only silver lining. Aside from the A-list actors, the movie only succeeds in making cringe-worthy and tasteless...

“That Awkward Moment” Review

I tried giving “That Awkward Moment” at least some credit for attempts at originality by using a hashtag as its title — until the Internet told me this was apparently done in 2012. In...

“Oblivion” Movie Review

3 out of 5 stars “Oblivion,” the second directorial effort from Joseph Kosinski (“Tron: Legacy”), is a visually stunning, if empty piece of pop entertainment. With a pedigree in video game commercials and graphic novels,...

Liam Neeson delivers in “Non-Stop”

I just love it when a movie delivers on its premise. “Gravity” promised moviegoers the chance to watch Sandra Bullock float through a green-screened outer space, and that’s what they got. “Pacific Rim” promised...

At least it’s over

I know how it feels to be a fan of something. I grew up on the Harry Potter books, and I remember being extremely salty every time the studio released a movie that wasn’t...
