Greed goes to war in ‘War Dogs’
Director Todd Phillips might be better known for his Hangover trilogy, but War Dogs proves he can make a movie that is both entertaining and impactful. Cross that with the chemistry between Jonah Hill and Miles Teller, and throw in a little Bradley Cooper and you’ve got yourself a rags-to-richest-to-corruption story that’s definitely worth a…

‘Sausage Party’ only aims for low-hanging comedy fruit
When the primary antagonist of your movie is a literal talking douche, it’s fair to say that you’re not aiming for intelligent humor.

Everybody seems to love…

HBO’s ‘The Night Of’ enthralls with suspenseful subtlety
HBO might be better known for resurrected bastards and fire-breathing dragons these days, but The Night Of proves that the network can also deliver a well-crafted and suspenseful crime series. Those longing for the early days of True Detective (and not that horrendous excuse for a second season) will be delighted with this new Noir-esque…

‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ less fun, more nostalgia cash grab
Independence Day: Resurgence feels less like the action blockbuster that spawned this lackluster sequel and more like a CG-filled nostalgia cash grab. With the absence of Will Smith, the movie is left trying to scrape together a story from what was left in the bottom of the ID4 jar.

Everybody needs to stop complaining about Jon Snow spoilers
If you’ve been on Twitter and Facebook for even a couple weeks, you know that people post about movies and TV shows, and those posts sometimes include spoilers. If you truly believe that knowing what happens on a show will destroy your entire life, perhaps it’s best for you to avoid social media (and probably…
