Moon - (85% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) Limited Release - Pick of the Week

Check out our review of it film HERE.



Imagine That
- (37% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)

Eddie Murphy stars as a successful financial executive who has more time for his blackberry than his seven-year-old daughter (Yara Shahidi). When he has a crisis of confidence and his career starts going down the drain, however, he finds the solution to all his problems in his daughter’s imaginary world. Critical consensus is that despite a promising turn by newcomer Yara Shahidi, Imagine That is another pedestrian family comedy that squanders Eddie Murphy's comedic talents. Are we still calling him talented these days?

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 - (45% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)

Denzel Washington stars as New York City subway dispatcher Walter Garber, whose ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train. John Travolta stars as Ryder, the criminal mastermind who, as leader of a highly-armed gang of four, threatens to execute the train's passengers unless a large ransom is paid within one hour. Critics are saying that despite a strong cast, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 suffers under the excesses of Tony Scott's frantic direction, and fails to measure up to the 1974 original. For me, I haven't seen the original and I embrace every bit of Tony Scott's excesses, so I'll be there this weekend.
