Staying Positive: Suicide Squad

by Adam Thas

To me, a bad movie with is one with too many holes to plug. At it’s very core it’s flawed and if you had a time machine and could fix just a few things, there still would be no way to fix it. Suicide Squad isn’t one of those movies. I genuinely believe that if you went back and changed a few things, Suicide Squad would work enough to deflect a lot of the hate that is being hurled at it. Don’t get me wrong: it deserves a lot of the hate, but for all the things it’s doing wrong, it is doing some key things right. So let’s talk about what works in Suicide Squad.

Savagely underwhelming.

This is the real deal.

To Bourne With Love

by Mark Ahn

With the summer release of the latest installment of one of my favorite action series, I was trying to figure out why Jason Bourne wasn’t inciting more personal excitement. I asked other action movie lovers (also Bourne fans), and found that we all shared the same sort of disinterest, as if we just couldn’t be bothered to watch it.

F This Movie! - Suicide Squad

Patrick and Adam Riske want to kill themselves.

Review: Lights Out

Good for what it is but maybe bad for what it represents.

Yes and no.

Heath Holland On...Fear, Hope and Star Trek Beyond

by Heath Holland

With a new Star Trek movie just around the corner, I’m a nervous wreck.

Review: Swiss Army Man

by Cass Cannon

My love for A24 knows no limits. Not even a dead, farting corpse could keep me away from the theater...if anything it drew me to it. I’m talking, of course, about the summer’s weirdest breakout film: Swiss Army Man.

Review: The Purge: Election Year

by Patrick Bromley

Just remember all the good the Purge does.

F This Movie! - Independence Day: Resurgence

Patrick and JB had 20 years to prepare for this. They still weren't ready.

Review: The Neon Demon

by Patrick Bromley

Maybe this movie should have skipped wide release altogether and gone straight to the midnight circuit.

Review: The Shallows

by Adam Riske

It’s fin(e).

Random Thoughts on 2016 Movies (July-August)

by Adam Riske

The first half of the summer movie season has been average at best. Do you think the upcoming slate of releases look better?

Review: Finding Dory

by Adam Riske

A movie I needed more than I could have imagined.

Review: Cell

by Patrick Bromley

I'm a huge fan of Stephen King, but Cell is not one of my favorite novels he's written. It stands to reason, I guess, that the movie version of Cell isn't one of my favorite Stephen King movies.

Review: Me Before You

by Adam Riske

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this movie and I’m not certain I ever will.
