Review: Spirit Untamed
Spirit Untamed is a conventional family-friendly animated adventure that honors teamwork, friendship and female empowerment. And whoa... there are wild horses. And some catchy tunes. All that makes this second…
Review: Endangered Species
Okay, I may have to rethink the whole African Safari dream vacation thing... Endangered Species is a family action adventure thriller that never quite finds its footing. It's not horrible,…
Review: Wrath of Man
I’m sort of hit and miss when it comes to Guy Ritchie flicks. Wrath of Man falls somewhere in the middle of the road for me. The film is a…
Review: Thunder Force

Quickie Review: Raya and the Last Dragon
The only opinion that really matters here would be that of a kid who likes animated movies. Especially Disney animated movies. And for that particular demographic, Raya and the Last…
Quickie Review: Disney’s Flora & Ulysses
I'm not exactly the target demo, but I thoroughly enjoyed Disney's Flora & Ulysses. It's a family adventure comedy based on the Newbery Award-winning book "Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated…

Review: The Marksman
What can I say? It’s Liam Neeson – with a straw hat, a rifle, and a faithful dog. There’s nothing particularly unique or original about The Marksman, but Neeson gives…
