Review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

It takes the concepts of the first film and builds upon it, creating a grander story not just in scale but also in execution…

Review of The Overnight (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Proudly crude and hilarious whilst doing so, The Overnight is a night of debauchery that will make you cringe yet unable to turn away…

Review of The Lone Ranger (2003)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

It certainly isn't perfect, but give The Lone Ranger a chance if you're in the mood for some old-fashioned western adventure fun…

Review of Snowpiercer (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The echoes of Brazil can clearly be heard in this picture along with plenty of other obvious influences, but it has enough it can call its…

Review of Nebraska (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The story is simple but perfectly executed, the cast all provide stellar work, and the film's message about family and dreams is wonderfully poignant…

Review of Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

It's got a good heart, a great cast, and throws in some history lessons to sweeten the deal…

Review of Fantastic Four (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

I'm sad and disappointed because this movie didn't just shoot itself in the foot. It shot itself in the face. Repeatedly…

Review of Trance (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The film feels lacking in certain areas, mainly due to an ending that I don't think gels with the proceeding film…

Review of Frozen (2013)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

It's ironic that a film about the land being stuck in winter would be so heart-warming, but it's the truth…

Review of Pompeii (2014)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Pompeii is bad, but not at all in the interesting way. It's derivative and tedious, without an original thought in its head on any level…

Review of Jet Trash (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The cinematography is beautiful and really captures the look of Goa, but the drama is a little overblown and it all ultimately amounts to very little…

Review of Pan (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The screenplay is generic, the cast is poorly chosen, and despite his talent Joe Wright was just the wrong choice for this material…

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The Equalizer suffers from a bloated and banal script that does little to elevate the simple premise of its source material to something worthy…

Review of Big Hero 6 (2014)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Big Hero 6 is about dealing with loss; the symptoms it causes, what happens when that loss makes you do bad things, and how to move on comfortably…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Despite all of the obvious flaws, I did find myself caught up thanks to MacFarlane and Theron's chemistry, and there were just enough genuine…

Review of The Walk (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The first two thirds are well made and interesting enough on their own, but that climax easily ranks amongst the cinematic highlights of this…

Review of The Fundamentals of Caring (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Fairly standard road trip comedy made enjoyable by some solid gags and a strong cast…

Review of Yoga Hosers (2016)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

The unadulterated fun and enthusiasm that exudes from the production is as potent as whatever [Kevin] Smith was smoking when he wrote this…

Review of The Wolfpack (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Equally disturbing, funny and heart-warming, there's no movie quite like The Wolfpack out there. It has to be seen to be believed…

Review of Tomorrowland (2015)

By Jennifer Heaton (346) for Alternative Lens (346) on 01 Nov 2018

Tomorrowland is mostly a film about ideas, and those ideas are definitely worth considering…
