Review of Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

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

Review of The Big Short (2015)

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

Review of Pacific Rim (2013)

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

Review of Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

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

Review of Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)

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

I did laugh a few times, but I equally found myself smacking my forehead in annoyance of how stupid these characters were sometimes…

Review of Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)

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

It's so monotonous and dull that it makes Dark of the Moon look like a breezy 90-minute romp…

Review of A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)

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

Die Hard 5 is a spit in the face of the franchise, an embarrassment that should be quickly forgotten about and never spoken of again…

Review of Macbeth Unhinged (2016)

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

This is a dull, cheap and utterly pretentious movie that is confined for almost its entire runtime to the backseat of a limo…

Review of The Infinite Man (2014)

Review of Whiplash (2014)

Review of Life After Beth (2014)

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

Review of Don Jon (2013)

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

Don Jon isn't just a good effort from a first-time director. It's a pretty good film on its own too…

Review of You're Ugly Too (2015)

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

Gillen's repartee with the young Lauren Kinsella is charming, holding interest through the film's slower moments and the somewhat unsatisfactory…

Review of Jack Reacher (2012)

Review of Evil Dead (2013)
