Movie Review: Southpaw
The one-two punch of Fuqua and Sutter delivers a film that’s more than just a rock ’em, sock ’em throwdown. (Though the Horner/Eminem score/soundtrack collaboration helps keep the adrenaline flowing.) Fight film fans will love the attention paid to The … Continue reading

Movie Review: Ant-Man
Let’s face it; you’re either a Marvel junkie or you’re not. So to the junkies I say this: go. Go see Ant-Man. See it now. Spring for the 3D and get yourself some popcorn and licorice while you’re at it. … Continue reading
#BCC2015 News: Hero Initiative Announces Baltimore Comic-Con 2015 Line-Up
