“Kung Fu Panda 3” is an animated adventure starring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Bryan Cranston and J.K. Simmons. It was funny if familiar (especially if you watched “The Legend of Korra”) and was a decent film to end the series.
The movie shows Po the panda taking on the role of a teacher and failing miserably while...
Achieving the impossible is something that everyone wants to accomplish at some point in their life, whether it be mastering a perfect SAT score or winning an Olympic gold medal for track despite a broken leg. In reality, these extreme instances are rarely granted, making the few that have occurred historical and even life defining. In the world of...
If you’re at all familiar with the wildly popular book and movie “Fifty Shades of Grey ” by E.L. James, then you’ve most likely heard about the newest spoof, “Fifty Shades of Black.” The film, produced by Marlon Wayans and Rick Alvarez, follows suit behind the Wayans brothers’ largely popular spoofs “Scary Movie” and “White Chicks.”

Before I watched “The Fifth Wave,” I predicted that it would involve a young, pretty girl who somehow diverges from the rest of the youth population to save the world and becomes the subject of a “two hot guys” love triangle.
Surprisingly, everything that I predicted about the movie was true.
“The Fifth Wave” centers around an ordinary high...
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 jokes that leaves one feeling confused as to how it went into production.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love myself a good rib-busting, neighbors-side-eying-me epic...
You know, if a real gangster decided to work for the cops, he would be killed in a gangland assassination if he didn’t enter witness protection. We all know that despite his claims about owning an AK-47 and boasting that he would “swarm on any motherfucker in a blue uniform,” Ice Cube isn’t a real gangster. He did appear...
Michael Bay’s film adaptations over the last few years have been disappointing to say the least (ehem, Transformers). “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” breaks this streak of disappointing films in resounding Michael Bay fashion.
The siege of the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya has been an event shrouded in controversy since the attacks took place on the 11th...
“The Forest”: Another example of a horror movie with a great premise ruined by stupid horror movie cliches that now permeate modern horror cinema.
Casting Natalie Dormer is one of this movie’s few strengths, but it’s sad knowing that her talents are wasted on not just one role, but two, as she plays twins Sara and Jess Price. Jess has...
“Concussion” is based on the true story of Nigerian immigrant and neuropathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu (Will Smith) and his findings and experiences following his discovery of a new brain disease that results from repeated head trauma commonly found in professional football players. As the list of football players going crazy and committing suicide grows, Omalu decides to take action...
It’s unfortunately common to see women within film portrayed as afterthoughts or mere love interests to clap the leading man on as he saves the day. While it’s exhausting to see women constantly portrayed as weak sex objects with no capacity for individual thought, once in a blue moon comes a film that reminds people of the endless potential...
