Suicide Squad Review

Suicide Squad Review

RYAN: It’s DC’s big hope for their superhero franchise. Marvel has universally won praise from audiences and critics and even though the DC movies do well, they’re still not considered a success in comparison. And audiences have been pretty vocal about feeling disappointment in them. I didn’t like Suicide Squad as much as Batman v Superman, which I ..

Jason Bourne Review

Jason Bourne Review

RYAN: I loved this movie so much! It’s so great having Matt Damon back and the screenplay is so great because it ties back to the very beginning of the franchise. It’s so smart. The action is incredible, I literally stopped breathing at one point. BECKY: I don’t think  you breathed the whole movie. I ..

Captain Fantastic Review

Captain Fantastic Review

RYAN: This is one of the best films of the year so far. I was very surprised because the premise didn’t hook me when I heard about it and it looks very Wes Anderson, which is polarizing, to say the least. But it’s not like a Wes movie at all and it’s the kind of ..

Nerve Review

Nerve Review

RYAN: This is a new action thriller, featuring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco in leading roles – and they pull it off and they’re both so hot. I enjoy them both and their chemistry in this really makes it that much more enjoyable. Plus, Nerve is so now – it’s all to do with today’s social media, voyeuristic ..

Star Trek Beyond Review

Star Trek Beyond Review

RYAN: It’t number three in what is now going to be at least a four movie franchise. Paramount has already announced a fourth Star Trek film in which Chris Hemsworth will return as Kirk’s father. I didn’t even remember him in it. MIKE: It’s easy to forget because he had very short screen time in the ..

Ghostbusters Review

Ghostbusters Review

RYAN: Ghostbusters 2016! It’s the reboot of the classic 1984 film. Dan Ackroyd is an Exec Producer on this – he co wrote the first one and it’s based on that film. It’s better in every way. It so lovingly and beautifully pays homage to the original film, its stars and also to the 80s ..

The Secret Life of Pets Review

The Secret Life of Pets Review

RYAN: This movie received one of the largest responses – ever – for entries to my movie club. I wish I could have accommodated more people but those who did attend had a great time. And I loved this – such a feel good movie. From the makers of the Despicable Me movies. There’s also a cute Minions ..

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates Review

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates Review

RYAN: I was dreading this movie because we just saw Z’Efron in a new Neighbors movie and I’m sick of him doing comedy, where he plays the stupid bro. But I do love Anna Kendrick. It was better than expected. It’s like a new Wedding Crashers with a younger cast; an indirect competition here between the guys ..

The Legend of Tarzan Review

The Legend of Tarzan Review

RYAN: This is an epic tale of greed, revenge and survival. It has everything you love and want out of a Tarzan story – there are aspects of his origin, but it’s more of an Indiana Jones type of story that takes a domesticated Tarzan back to the jungle. BECKY: And I wasn’t expecting to ..

The BFG Review

The BFG Review

RYAN: Disney, Roald Dahl & Steven Spielberg come together for quite the imaginative cinematic event! It’s one of the most whimsical adventures I’ve ever seen. I didn’t read the book, so coming at this completely unaware of what to expect, it’s this amazing childhood fantasy that had much depth and weight to it. It’s so ..

The Purge: Election Year Review

The Purge: Election Year Review

RYAN: I recommended the first Purge movie, said to skip the second one, Anarchy, and so didn’t know what to expect going into this one – but I’m glad to say it’s back on track. CAROLINE: That’s nice – I haven’t seen, nor would I see any of these movies; I’m not into slasher films. RYAN: They ..

Tom & Jerry: Back to Oz Review

Tom & Jerry: Back to Oz Review

New on DVD Tuesday June 21 – and available now digitally – Tom and Jerry Back to Oz is as close to a direct sequel to the 1939 classic film we may ever see. In 2011, Warner Bros released Tom and Jerry and The Wizard of Oz on Blu-ray and DVD – recreating the original film ..
