Review – X-Men: Apocalypse
by Kevin Muller
You have to hand it to the “X-men” franchise. Not only is it still going strong, 16 years after the first film, but it was the jumping point for many of the comic book blockbusters we all admire today. Christopher Nolan, who directed ‘The Dark Knight Trilogy”, has stated that he was influenced by the way Bryan Singer, this film’s director, and the director of the 2000 original film, grounded everything from the look to the themes into reality. Singer followed it up with the equally worthy “X2” before departing and giving the reigns to Brett Ratner. The general consensus of Ratner’s film was that it was garbage so when Singer was announced to come back and helm 2014’s “X-men: Days of Future Past,” fans rejoiced. That film was a triumph both with fans and financially. The amazing thing that Singer achieved was erasing everything that happened in Ratner’s film and his own, to create a new time line through the element of time travel. This now gives him the ability to recast the roles that were made famous by other actors without anyone batting an eye.
Review – Captain America: Civil War
by Kevin Muller
Joss Whedon, the geek savior of television and movies, hit it big with 2012’s ‘The Avengers.” It was a buildup of not only the super heroes, but the promise of what everyone was waiting for, a team movie that would fulfill so many dreams of the loyal fans of these characters. Whedon hit it out of the park giving us great acting and snappy dialogue to make the movie a massive success both critically and financially. We all anticipated the phase 2 Avengers movie that we had to wait three years to drop. Fast forward three years and three solo films later, and you would’ve thought that Whedon created a cinematic abortion with “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
Classic Review – American Graffiti (1973)
Considered to be one of the most profitable movies of all time, George Lucas’ American Graffiti follows a group of Californian teenagers in 1962 on their last night of freedom before two of their friends, Curt and Steve, leave to go to college. The movie follows each friend and their own individual adventure as the night goes on.

Review – The Innkeepers
In a companion piece to Henry Hill’s review of Ti West ‘The House Of The Devil, this one will look at his follow-up, The Innkeepers. While not as good as House Of The Devil, it’s still a well-crafted horror film with some effectively creepy moments that guarantee West as a name in modern horror to be remembered.
Review – Green Room
Following up from his theatrical debut, Blue Ruin, director Jeremy Saulnier could’ve taken any route he wanted. And he chose to make Assault On Precinct Nazi, which is absolutely fine because he turns out a film with enough force to confirm himself as a director to watch out for. Green Room is the new best siege movie, with enough intensity and unrelenting violence to satisfy any genre fan.

Review #2 – Keanu
by Kevin Muller
Back in the early 2000’s, Dave Chappelle reigned supreme on Comedy Central with his sketch comedy show “Chappelle’s Show.” It was witty, hilarious, and incredibly smart. When he walked away from it, and the millions of dollars that Comedy Central supposedly threw at him to stay, the network was quick to find a comedian that could fill that void. The question was, could Comedy Central ever find someone even with half the talent that Chappelle possessed?
Review – The House of the Devil (2009)
by Henry Hill
“During the 1980s over 70% of American adults believed in the existence of abusive satanic cults… Another 30% rationalized the lack of evidence due to government cover ups…The following is based on true unexplained events…”
Sometimes a movie comes along that has been out for several years before you discover it, and immediately after watching it, you want to tell all your friends about how much you liked it. 2009’s Horror The House of the Devil is one of those films. It was recommended to me by a friend, and after watching it, I highly recommend you do the same. Fans of the horror genre clamoring for movies like the classics of the 80s will especially enjoy Ti West’s twisted tale.
