Piracy on the high seas up close and personal Writer/director Cutter Hodierne took home the Dramatic Directing Award at the 2014 Sundance Festival with this gutsy inside look at desperation, despair and deliverance. Inevitably, comparisons will be made to Paul Greengrass’ 2013 “Captain Phillips” box office bonanza. In some ways this film is even better
Jason Reitman’s provocative drama Men, Women & Children looks at the disconnects that plague family relationships in the digital age. An all-star cast delves into the human experience at various stages of life, and how they’ve been transformed by instant communication.

Some of the films and bonus features are included in Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection on Blu-ray, but the set also features films missing from that release.

Although it manages a few good moments and has some solid action sequences, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is nothing short of a bad movie. It is filled with unnecessary scenes, poor special effects, and a villain who’s only motive to destroy the city is because Spider-Man didn’t remember his name. The film is further weighted
Although it has a “by the numbers” approach to its plot that takes out any suspense, Brick Mansions features some great action sequences to keep the audience entertained.

I think a lot of last season’s viewers tuned back in to BravoTV’s “Below Deck” tonight for the highly anticipated return of last season’s star, Adrienne Gang. And she did not disappoint.

Grim scenes of slave auctions in Virginia, circa 1860’s take us right back to a callous, entitled time in the southern US when many households owned slaves.
