By Renee’ Collins Rating: 5 (Out of 5 Reels) Continuing his “legendary adventures of awesomeness”, Po (Jack Black) must face two hugely epic, but different threats: one supernatural and the other a little closer to his home (IMDB).

Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) I have never actually read anything by parody author Seth Grahame-Smith, but have seen one film adaptation of his book Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Although I found that particular movie moderately entertaining and fun, it really isn’t a movie I would highly recommend. Going into this… Continue reading Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
Review: 45 YEARS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Long lasting marriages are a rarity in modern times. Not everyone has the patience or tolerance to handle the character flaws and mistakes of a spouse, nor can everyone make the necessary sacrifices and compromises required to make a marriage work.

Review: THE FINEST HOURS
By Laurie Coker Rating: B Countless films have been made about the American armed forces, even the Coast Guard, but rarely to our coastal guardians get the screen time afford the other services.

Review: DIRTY GRANDPA
By Laurie Coker Rating: C- The title of veteran actor Robert De Niro’s latest film, Dirty Grandpa, makes me think of a tasteless Adam Sandler film – not good. Still, I love De Niro, in spite of his terrible choices in some roles like the Focker films and Anger Management. His main body of work speaks… Continue reading Review: DIRTY GRANDPA

Review: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,
By Laurie Coker Rating: A+ In director Michael Bay’s latest film, 13 Hours, Chuck Hogan’s screenplay, based on a book by Mitchell Zuckoff, makes for vivid telling of the events that transpired on that critical night, when one American Ambassador and three other Americans were mercilessly killed in an attack on two American facilities on… Continue reading Review: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,
Review: NORM OF THE NORTH
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) The months of January and February are usually not great months for cinema. With the exception of the late wide releases of movies up for 2015 accolades, January and February serve as dumping grounds for films without the right season for theatrical release, or just plain… Continue reading Review: NORM OF THE NORTH
Review: ANOMALISA
By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) One of the most realistic movies of the year actually is somewhat artificially made. Written by Charlie Kaufman (writer of Being John Malkovich, Adaptation), based on his play, and directed by Kaufman and Duke Johnson, Anomalisa is an extraordinary stop motion animation film that has incredible… Continue reading Review: ANOMALISA
