Review: ROUGH NIGHT

By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) There have been plenty of films about bachelor parties-gone-wrong, but not really any about bachelorette party mayhem.  Rough Night promises to put an end to that disparity and do it with the same amount of crude, lewd, and wild humor.  The movie does offer plenty of… Continue reading Review: ROUGH NIGHT

Review: BEATRIZ AT DINNER

By Laurie Coker Rating: D+ It makes no sense that in Hollywood, the music industry, and even in general, suicide is seen as heroic. There is nothing honorable about taking one’s life. Perhaps this is a soapbox for another day. In Beatriz at Dinner, Salma Hayek, plays the titular character, an immigrant from a poor… Continue reading Review: BEATRIZ AT DINNER

Review: THE BOOK OF HENRY

By Laurie Coker Rating: C+/B- Certainly, there are methods for stretching the truth and still creating a story that is at its core believable and engaging. The Book of Henry engages, but more because of its cast than its tale. Director Colin Trevorrow and writer Gregg Hurwitz play on every emotion possible but go far… Continue reading Review: THE BOOK OF HENRY
