Review of Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 22 Dec 2014

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 20 Dec 2014

By far, the best part of the film is the last twenty minutes or so, and it's so good that it almost makes up for some of the missteps along the way…

Review of The Interview (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 15 Dec 2014

Review of Unbroken (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 02 Dec 2014

Review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 01 Dec 2014

Review of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 20 Nov 2014

The easy joke is to call this film the best Iranian vampire film I've ever seen, but that's reductive and unfair to this gorgeous, sad, haunting…

Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 18 Nov 2014

The film explores the way propaganda is used to set the stage for a conflict, and considering this is a mainstream franchise aimed primarily…

Review of Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 13 Nov 2014

There are laughs in the movie, but they feel like they are isolated gags, not sustained runs, and in order for this to work as character comedy,…

Review of Dumb and Dumber To (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 12 Nov 2014

There are gags that work, that pay off in a big way, and gags that fall flat, derailing entire sequences…

Review of American Sniper (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 12 Nov 2014

Overall, American Sniper is a solidly-staged but unexceptional picture, filled with overly familiar dramatic situations and a surprisingly…

Review of The Gambler (1974)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 08 Nov 2014

Review of The Theory of Everything (2014)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 06 Nov 2014

Review of The Better Angels (2014)
