Movie Review — Exodus: Gods and Kings
Nutshell: I’d give Exodus: Gods and Kings a C-. Barely passing as an epic, and though there are some interesting moments when the 21st Century tries to science-splain ancient Egypt, it never once stirred my interest past the FX. Who’s … Continue reading
Movie Review: Top Five
Nutshell: I give Top Five an A. Love “backstage” stories? Funny stuff? Introspection? You’ll love this. Rock shines, and delivers his best performance yet. Also, DMX sings Nat Cole. Hello, Spotify? A man who was once the pinnacle of his … Continue reading
Movie Review: The Theory of Everything
Nutshell: I’d give Theory an A. Solid acting with riveting performances, beautiful cinematography and a story about one man’s real life triumph over adversity…and the universe. What’s not to like? Went to the DC premiere. Saw the screening. Loved the … Continue reading

Movie Review: Left Behind (2014)
Nutshell: I’d give Left Behind a B-. It’s heart is in the right place, and it walks the fine line between Sunday school and pop culture nicely, but it’s movie-of-the-week look may put folks off. Director Vic Armstrong needed a … Continue reading
Movie Review: The Equalizer
Nutshell: I’d give The Equalizer an A-. A well done update of the 80s badass savior series, there’s a few hiccups here and there (see: the overuse of Important Slow Walking), but all in all an enjoyable good-guys-win film. I … Continue reading
Review in a Flash: The Maze Runner
Sometimes I’m too lazy for a full-out piece. Sometimes everything I’ve got to say about a film can be summarized in a sentence or two. Sometimes it’s both. So herewith, a quick-n-dirty on The Maze Runner! Nutshell: I’d give The … Continue reading

Movie Review: If I Stay
Nutshell: I’d give If I Stay an A-. This is a movie that pulls all the right strings at all the right times. Yeah it’s in your face about it, but the story and it’s actors suck you in so … Continue reading
