"War Room" tells quite an interesting story about a young couple whose lives and troubled marriage are transformed by intercessory prayer from a friend. This friend is a "prayer warrior" who is the center of the movie's story. Director Alex Kendrick ("Courageous" 2011), who co-wrote the [..]
Beyond the Mask (2015)
"Beyond the Mask" is an interesting faith-based historical film about a man who was an assassin for the British East India Company, and his attempts to start a new life in the America English colonies after a conversion to Christianity. Lots of drama proceeds from there. [..]
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
Producer-director Guy Ritchie ("Sherlock Holmes" 2009) has come up with a new and updated version of a popular 1960's television show. "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." has all the elements needed for a fun action-adventure picture: Good acting, well-paced action scenes, classic European settings in Italy and [..]
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)
In Hollywood's world of sequels and movie franchises, "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials" has done quite well. Director Wes Ball ("Maze Runner" 2014) has improved the plot and storyline and stepped up the quality of the action sequences from last year's original. Credit also goes to [..]
Black Mass (2015)
Great acting is evident in the Warner Bros. crime drama "Black Mass." Johnny Depp's performance as mobster James "Whitey" Bulger is absolutely brilliant and compelling. Depp is almost unrecognizable between the heavy make-up and the tour de force nature of this role. [..]
Everest (2015)
Just in case you were thinking of taking up mountain climbing, watching the movie "Everest" may change your mind. The story is based on the real life events of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, where several people from two expedition groups lost their lives. [..]
Minions (2015)
The "Minions" gibber-jabber their way to success on the big screen in their own hit film after being consigned to secondary roles in "Despicable Me" (2010) and "Despicable Me 2" (2013). Director Pierre Coffin (at the helm of both "Despicable Me" projects), who lent his voice as [..]
A Walk in the Woods (2015)
Robert Redford and Nick Nolte provide plenty of laughs, and some serious moments as well, in the buddy picture "A Walk in the Woods." The story is of two friends who decide to walk the 2,100 mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. Redford [..]
Fantastic Four (2015)
"Fantastic Four" is a poor attempt to make a comic book story into an action-adventure motion picture. Poor direction by Josh Trank ("Chronicle" 2012) and lackluster screenplay by Jeremy Slater, Simon Kinberg, and Trank in this third version seem to lack the excitement of Walt Disney's new [..]
Ant-Man (2015)
"Ant-Man" is more superhero fun and games from Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. This twelfth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe features Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, an average guy down on his luck who gets a second chance in life as Ant-Man. Rudd not only [..]
