Don’t Breathe: Suspenseful From Minute One & Stephen Lang Was Such a Badass [Review]
I had trouble deciding this week. Should I go see Mechanic: Resurrection, the sequel to a film I’d never even heard of? Or should I see Don’t Breathe, a Horror/Thriller about kids robbing a blind guy’s house? Normally I don’t check the reviews beforehand, but...

Kubo and The Two Strings: Every Single Frame in This Movie was Gorgeous [Review]
It’s a weird thing these days going into a film where I haven’t seen it all hyped to death. I’d seen trailers for Kubo and the Two Strings but I really didn’t know what it was about. I didn’t go in knowing what i09 thought of it and it wasn’t blasted all over Imagur....
Hell or High Water: Summer’s Best Movie is Finally Here [Review]

Suicide Squad: Check Your Expectations at The Door & Just Have Fun With it [Review]
