Tomb Raider – Film Review
Like the 2013 video game of the same name, director Roar Uthaug’s new action thriller Tomb Raider ignores everything that happened before and starts from the beginning. It’s a reboot, an origin adventure that, by all accounts, is relatively close to the setup of the popular game. That’s great news for gamers who look for […]

7 Days in Entebbe – Film Review
It’s possible that your first reaction when hearing there was a new film telling the story of Operation Entebbe was, really? Followed by, why? There were already 3 movies that covered the real-life story of the 1976 counter-terrorist-hostage-rescue operation, so, why another? True, 2 of the previous films weren’t particularly good.

By all accounts, Russia’s Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence) is a great ballerina, a jewel in the Bolshoi Ballet crown. In fact, she’s considered such a treasure, the Bolshoi even pays for her apartment, including the wages of a nurse who helps care for Dominika’s frail mother (Joely Richardson). But a horrific on-stage accident changes everything. […]

Death Wish – Film Review
The first sound you’ll hear is the beginning of an urgent 911 call. Before any details of a mugging or an attack by someone with a gun emerge, another report overlaps the first, then a TV news clip overlaps the call, then a radio report, and so on. One after another, the Chicago media is […]
