'Doctor Strange' wants to push the boundaries of what Marvel has done before, but remains too mainstream to live up to its name.

I’m a fan. I go to conventions; my heart literally skips beats at the thought of sharing a few moments of time with my fandom idols and I get euphoric when I’m in their presence. Yeah, I spend money to get into these events and I part with hard-earned cash …

As with the two DCEU films before it, 'Suicide Squad' doesn't understand that in order to create tension in its big, epic battles, the audience needs to care about its characters.

'Seoul Searching' is a wonderful, funny & moving homage to the John Hughes teen comedies of the 80s and a revealing look at the diversity of the Korean diaspora.

Though based upon a game notable for its refinement, depth of lore, and quirky mix of humor and darkness, 'Warcraft' suffers from a lack of character.

There is a joke in 'X-Men: Apocalypse' that the third film is always the worst. While it never reaches the depths of 'Last Stand,' for the X-Men franchise this joke is true.

'Team Foxcatcher' tells the tragic story of Olympic champion wrestler Dave Schultz and his murder at the hands of deranged billionaire John E. du Pont.

The easy review would be to call "Dawn of Justice" a complete disaster. But the honest review is to just call it a mess. A disaster is what will follow, however, if the mess isn't cleaned.

The movie adaptation of Anne Rice's 'Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt' covers all the major theological events in the book and is filled with competent acting and directing. But it lacks the sumptuous sensory experience that Rice's beautiful prose brings to the book. Still, the movie touches upon many points both humanistic and religious and would make a good film for families to see together.

'Deadpool,' just like its title character and 1990s comic series, takes risks like it has nothing to lose. And those risks, with the movie just as with the original comic, pay off.

Painkillers tells the story of a military unit that wakes up in a hospital after a mission. None of the soldiers remember their mission, and they are given experimental drugs to help regain their memories safely. As they begin to remember, they realize there is more to the mission, and …

I was privileged to speak with the star of the new movie 'Painkillers,' Tahmoh Penikett ('Battlestar Galactica,' 'Dollhouse') about the film and his role. As a big fan of 'BSG,' needless to say I was very excited!
