Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) ☆☆(2/4): Dawn of Tiredness
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is a glum, humongous chunk of mess weighted further down by solemn ponderousness to bore us. Although its story doles out some interesting ideas and materials, they are all discarded, smashed, and pulverized in … Continue reading
The Wave (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): A tsunami movie from Norway

“Bone Tomahawk” is a freakish mix of two pulpy genres. On one side, it is a gritty modern western film packed with colorful goodies to be enjoyed along its ride. On the other side, it is a gruesome horror flick … Continue reading
Z for Zachariah (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : A triangle in the post-apocalyptic world
