Review – The Birth of a Nation
One does not simply write a review of The Birth of a Nation.
Review – Snowden
Like most Americans, I’ve heard the name Edward Snowden. I even had an inkling of who he was – a whistleblower from the CIA, or NSA, or some such secret government agency. He revealed secrets about something and got in trouble and had to flee the country. That’s about it for me though having missedContinue reading “Review – Snowden”
Review – War Dogs

Review – The Conjuring 2
Director James Wan is back with another “true” tale from the case files of the infamous paranormal investigating duo, Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Ver Farmiga). This time we head to London for what is considered the Amityville of Britain.
Review – Captain America: Civil War
At this point, does this movie even need an introduction?
Review – Hardcore Henry
According to the reliable source that is Urban Dictionary, the phrase “balls to the wall” comes from the act of pushing a throttle – often in an airplane – as far forward as possible, accelerating quickly to maximum speed. In modern nomenclature it tends to just refer to something being non-stop action to an insaneContinue reading “Review – Hardcore Henry”
