Review of Furious 7 (2015)

By Tony Hicks (74) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 31 Mar 2015

Review of Get Hard (2015)

By Tony Hicks (74) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 24 Mar 2015

Get Hard is worth a look for fans of Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart. And the two do work well together…

Review of The Gunman (2015)

By Tony Hicks (74) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 20 Mar 2015

It devolves into a mess of worn plot lines. If Morel wanted to give Penn's career new life as a world-weary action hero, he missed his target…

Review of Insurgent (2015)

By Randy Myers (265) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 18 Mar 2015

That's a lot of back story to wade through and at times the expository world-building weighs heavy here too…

Review of Run All Night (2015)

By Randy Myers (265) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 10 Mar 2015

We've been up and down this road before, and even though Kinnaman, Neeson and Harris make interesting passengers, the overused tires in Run…

Review of The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015)

By Randy Myers (265) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 03 Mar 2015

If the first film felt like snuggling up with a warm blanket, this one is like sipping a comforting cup of warm tea…

Review of Focus (2014)

By Randy Myers (265) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 25 Feb 2015

This kind of film needs a punchy right hook to follow up its clever, if outlandish, jab late in the game, and Focus doesn't deliver…

Review of Focus (1994)

Review of Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

By Karen D'souza (30) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 12 Feb 2015

About an hour in, it finally dawned on me that perhaps the movie was giving me insights into masochism after all…

Review of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

By Randy Myers (265) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 11 Feb 2015

If you're not averse to ridiculous violence and un-PC irreverence, your money will be well spent…

Review of Black Sea (2009)

By Tony Hicks (74) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 28 Jan 2015

Black Sea is a good movie; Law turns in a great performance, and one walks away feeling that the characters and the scenery here are all convincing…

Review of A Most Violent Year (2014)

By Randy Myers (265) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 13 Jan 2015

The performances are memorable. Isaac uses understatement with the appropriate emotional outburst and Chastain is the film's firecracker…

Review of Into the Woods (2014)

By Karen D'souza (30) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 18 Dec 2014

This movie always seems to distance itself from that existential truth that was at the core of Sondheim's original…

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

By Tony Hicks (74) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 17 Dec 2014

Levy -- who directed all three movies -- just couldn't muster up enough freshness to make this installment stand out from others…

Review of Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

By Randy Myers (265) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 11 Dec 2014
