★★★★★ Birdman
Birdman takes no prisoners in skewering everything about Hollywood, actors, theater, and the culture surrounding them all.

★★★★★ Birdman
'Birdman' is one of the rare highly-acclaimed (and presumably over-acclaimed) indie films that's entirely worth all of the hype that it's getting.

★½★★★ Ouija
The lowest form of PG-13 horror.

★★★★★ Fury
With great performances and fantastic directing, 'Fury' will place you into a wartime setting that you haven't yet experienced - and I definitely recommending catching it on the big screen.

★★½★★ The Judge
I object to the cruel and unusual torturous punishment of long, cliche-filled dramas like 'The Judge.'

PG-13
★★★★★ Dracula Untold
'Untold' is not the best Dracula movie ever made, but it plants the seeds for a should-be could-be fun franchise.

★★★★★ Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Think you've experienced bad days? Wait until you see this turd.

★★★★★ Gone Girl
With Oscar season approaching, this delightfully wicked black comedy is a shoe-in for a Best Picture nomination.

★★★★★ The Drop
"A well-written, expertly directed and masterfully played slow-burning drama."

★★★★★ The Equalizer
'MacGyver' meets 'Saw' meets 'Home Alone' in this insanely intense and absolutely satisfying revenge/justice-based crime thriller.

★★★★★ This is Where I Leave You
Although 'This Is Where I Leave You' contains a few undeniable flaws, it's quite easily one of the most satisfying and entertaining dramedies of the last few years.

PG-13
★★★½★ The Maze Runner
Although the market has been saturated with YA adaptations, 'The Maze Runner' is one that doesn't require you to be a teenager in order to enjoy it.

★½★★★ Tusk
Tusk wants to be a meta, Sam Raimi-style horror/comedy, but it ends up being neither very funny or scary.

★★★★★ The Drop
A suspenseful slow-burner with fantastic performances and very high quality.

PG
★★★★★ Dolphin Tale 2
Dripping with cheesy manipulation, 'Dolphin Tale 2' is ultimately entertaining and absolutely fit for kids.

★★★★★ As Above, So Below
An inventive script and visuals helps "As Above, So Below" rise above (or below?!) its found-footage genre.

R
★★★★★ The November Man
The November Man overcomes its clichés with hard hitting practical action sequences, complicated characters, and lots of good old double-crosses.

★½★★★ The November Man
'The November Man' marks the sure death of the fun summer blockbuster season.

PG-13
★★★★★ The Giver
Broken promises.

★★★★★ Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
'Sin City' is back in all of its black & white noir glory, but the nine-years-later sequel is sloppy, confusing, jumbled and a little too late.
Luke Hickman
PG-13
★½★★★ If I Stay
A manipulative and sappy teen drama that overstays its welcome.
Luke Hickman
PG-13
★★½★★ The Expendables 3
I can't wait to see these guys appear in a remake of 'Cocoon!'
Luke Hickman
PG-13
★★★★★ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Be adult or be childish, but don't be both. The 'Ninja Turtles' are quickly defeated this time around by a majorly jumbled tone.
