Review: ‘Pixels’

By Riley Katz July 27, 2015

Grade: 2/5 What happens when aliens send the video games that we launched into space back to kill us? We must rely on Adam Sandler to save us, for some reason. “Pixels” tells the story of childhood...

Review: ‘True Detective’ – Season 2 Episode 6

By Jack Woods July 27, 2015

Score: 4/5 The action is picking up on True Detective’s second season, but with only two episodes left, it’s time to tie up loose ends and neatly conclude the main storyline and as many of...

Review: ‘Trainwreck’

By David LaPlante July 22, 2015

Score: 3/5 “Trainwreck” is an over-the-top comedy that is detached from Amy Schumer’s recognizably vulgar comedic spaceship to float somewhere in a strange romantic comedy orbit for some...

Review: Alan Jackson - 'Angels and Alcohol'

Review: Alan Jackson – ‘Angels and Alcohol’

By Morgan Prewitt July 22, 2015

Score: 4/5 As one of modern country’s legends, Alan Jackson didn’t disappoint with his newest album, “Angels and Alcohol,” his first since he released “The Bluegrass Album”...

Review: Tame Impala “Currents”

By Riley Katz July 22, 2015

Score: 3.5/5 Tame Impala’s new album, “Currents,” is nearly as average as an album can get. While the album does have a few gems, the rest of the tracks are forgettable. As a fan of Lonerism...

Review: 'Amy'

Review: ‘Amy’

By Zoe Geauthreaux July 20, 2015

Score: 5/5 Director Asif Kapadia brings Amy Winehouse’s lyrics to life in “Amy” -- a genuinely raw biopic of the singer’s complex life and tragic death. Thanks to a plethora of...

Review: ‘True Detective’ – Season 2 Episode 5

By Jack Woods July 20, 2015

Score: 4.5/5 That time jump, though. “Other Lives” picks up two months (give or take) after the deadly shootout with Ledo Amarilla’s crew… and all our characters are doing something...

Ant-Man

Review: ‘Ant Man’

By Taylor Wiley July 20, 2015

Score: 4/5 The latest addition to the Marvel movie franchise, “Ant-Man,” meets anticipation and brings an interesting approach to the superhero. It tackles themes of family and revenge with...

Review: '7 Days in Hell'

Review: ‘7 Days in Hell’

By Javier Fernandez July 15, 2015

After watching the trailer for “7 Days in Hell,” I thought I knew exactly what to expect from this HBO mockumentary. I was wrong. “7 Days in Hell” is as outrageous as it gets, but...

Review: Duke Ellington and His Orchestra - 'The Conny Plank Session'

Review: Duke Ellington and His Orchestra – ‘The Conny Plank Session’

By David LaPlante July 15, 2015

Score: 4/5 Duke Ellington died more than 40 years ago, but the legacy of the “Father of Jazz” lives on in “Duke Ellington and His Orchestra: The Conny Plank Session,” an unreleased...

Review: 'Maybe in Another Life'

Review: ‘Maybe in Another Life’

By Taylor Wiley July 15, 2015

I’ve written before about how much I hate rom-coms and their recycled plot lines, but for some reason, when they come in the form of young adult novels, I’m all for it. So call me a hypocrite,...

Review: 'The Gallows'

Review: ‘The Gallows’

By Justin DiCharia July 13, 2015

Score: 2/5 Interesting camera tactics, high school stereotypes and a mediocre plot line with some interesting twists kept me entertained throughout the “The Gallows” 80-minute subpar attempt...
