By Laurie Coker Rating: C+ Finding freshness in a film genre made memorable by films like Raging Bull and Rocky works against most directors, if for nothing more than the “been there, seen that” element. Having an exceptional cast can and does make up for a great deal, and having Jake Gyllenhaal as a leading… Continue reading Review: SOUTHPAW

However, when I first heard that Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish were spearheading this Marvel property, I knew, or at… Continue reading Review: ANT-MAN
Review: TRAINWRECK
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Director Judd Apatow tackled bro-mance and romance in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, unexpected offspring in Knocked Up, and marital woes in This is 40. Apatow’s newest comedy marks a return to romantic comedy, and as with most rom-coms, this one is told from a woman’s perspective. Only… Continue reading Review: TRAINWRECK
