Nightcrawler
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
A full-on masterpiece. Darkly funny, frightening, and action-packed. An intriguing neo-noir take on a world most of us are happily oblivious to.

Flatliners

a horrific failure for Niels Arden Oplev, whose THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, DEAD MAN DOWN, and the pilot for "Mr. Robot", suggested a certain boldness that's utterly absent here.

The Amazing Spider-Man

All due respect to Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, but this is QUITE A BIT better than any of the other Spider-Man films. Garfield and Stone are terrific.
