In the Heart of the Sea (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A story that inspired “Moby Dick”

“The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” shows some potentials for better things to come, but, though it is not wholly without entertainment, it ultimately fizzles in the end due to its mediocre plot and weak characterization. The whole movie feels like being … Continue reading
Turbo Kid (2015) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Not for your kids, certainly
“Turbo Kid” is a junk food packed with cheesy and hammy elements while cheerfully drenched in a nasty hot sauce of violence. It is goofy and amusing at times, but the movie eventually feels more like an expired one-note joke … Continue reading
Maze Runner: the Scorch Trials (2015) ☆☆(2/4) : No maze in this time
