[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] As a horror fan, A Cure for Wellness is an interesting mix of plot elements from a wide range of genre films. It’s about three parts Shutter Island, two parts Phantom of the Opera, and one part each for The Strain and Frankenstein. Dane DeHaan (Amazing Spider-Man 2’s Harry Osborn) plays Lockhart, an ambitious […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and it’s that magical time every few years that around the same time we get another installment in the Fifty Shades series – this time with Fifty Shades Darker.

Denzel Washington’s passion project shows that when he has a vision, he is willing to take the long road if it means getting it right. Fences is a powerful and brilliantly acted film adaptation of the late playwright August Wilson’s stage production about an African-American family living in Pittsburgh in the mid-1950s.

Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5 A Monster Calls is not an easy movie to watch. It’s a brutally honest portrayal of a boy who is enduring the slow loss of his mother from terminal cancer and his dealing with the anguish via a monster summoned from his imagination. I don’t know of many films […]
