Review: “The Other Woman”

The Other Woman is that rare film that will leave discerning audiences wondering if the filmmakers consciously set out to utilize every previously-used and abused cliché in the genre they could think of in order to crank out a film that was 100% unoriginal and predictable from start to finish.

Review: “Transcendence”

Transcendence is a quietly intense and cerebral film that relies heavily on its visuals and the gravitas of its stars to hold audiences’ interest as it methodically unfolds. But its ambitions and its talented cast are not enough to overcome the shortcomings of faulty pacing and a muddled conclusion that leaves you wondering just what exactly the filmmakers were trying to say and what they were out to accomplish.

REVIEW: “Draft Day” ★★★ and ½

Draft Day probably won’t be the best sports film you’ve ever seen, but it’s far from the worst. In fact, it’s a surprisingly entertaining and well-constructed film which, in addition to satisfying your average NFL fans’ desire for authenticity regarding the workings of the NFL Draft, should also appeal to a wide audience thanks to its cast and deft, comedic direction from Ivan Reitman.
