Review of Man of Steel (2013)

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

Review of Non-Stop (2014)

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

It engages you for two hours and doesn't do anything to really offend or annoy, but it doesn't really make much sense when you think about it…

Review of Bullet to the Head (2012)

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

I can hardly call Bullet to the Head bad; it's just so bland on pretty much every level that there's not much to say but 'meh…

Review of Trainwreck (2015)

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

Trainwreck is a fresh and honest look at relationships and the romantic comedy in general, and a perfect showcase for Amy Schumer's talents…

Review of The Fault in Our Stars (2014)

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

It will certainly be a tearjerker for some, but the film's final triumphant message means that you shouldn't be too depressed when you leave…

Review of Mama (2013)
