'10 Cloverfield Lane' Review: Thriller is Real Nail-Biter

Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman in 10 Cloverfield Lane

John McClane would be proud. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, best known for playing Bruce Willis' daughter in the Die Hard movies, is one kick ass character in 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE. She doesn't throw punches or kicks, but her Michelle character uses her smarts and resourcefulness throughout the thriller. Part of the enjoyment of this film is going through her journey of whether she should trust her captor played by John Goodman who claims he saved her from the end of the world. Although it bares the name Cloverfield, don't expect it to tie into the 2008 film.

Directed by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu and photographed beautifully by Emmanuel Lubezki, THE REVENANT is one of those films that should be experienced on the big screen for its scope.

We didn't have to wait long for a sequel to Disney’s follow up to the mega hit FROZEN even if it is in short form. All the elements that made FROZEN a pop culture sensation are all present in FROZEN FEVER including all the merchandising possibilities, and a new tune that makes a good companion to "Let It Go."

Taken 3 movie Liam Neeson3

The early portion of the year is widely regarded as a dumping ground for less than stellar cinematic ventures. The placement of TAKEN 3 in early January was initially an indicator of one of two possibilities … the film is being buried in movie no man’s land because it’s not worthy of being seen or it has something to offer audiences at a time when there a few options.

'Exodus: Gods and Kings' New Movie Review: Is Ridley Scott Losing His Touch?

Details: Last Updated: Friday, 12 December 2014 11:11; Written by iRate Chick

Ridley Scott directs Christian Bale on set of Exodus: Gods and Kings

You would think that the director behind Gladiator would have given us another solid epic piece, but EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS is so uneven in character development and story that it leaves you wondering what Ridley Scott was thinking. What saves the film is Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton superb acting and onscreen dynamic.

Horrible-Bosses-2-movie

The fear of most sequels is that we’ll get more of the same but with a bigger budget. Luckily HORRIBLE BOSSES 2 doesn’t fall victim to the Hangover movie formula. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day have license to be even more naughty and raunchy in their second outing.

John Wick Keanu Reeves new movie image2

In a 2003 GQ piece, Lucy Kaylin noted “no actor dead or alive has ever been better matched with a role than Keanu Reeves is with Neo.” And while the actor’s iconic role in the Matrix is still is best to date - his portrayal of the title character in John Wick compliments his strengths so perfectly - it’s almost on par with it.
