Movie Review: Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Movie Review: Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Gerard Butler’s return to the big screen didn’t go off quite as planned. There are gunfights with automatic weapons, terrorist standoffs, and tons of explosions with property damage to boot. There are White House officials in serious briefings and others tied up with guns to their heads, but Antoine “Training Day” Fuqua’s new patriotic action movie doesn’t cut the mustard.

Movie Review: The Croods (2013)

He boasts that while so many other relatives have kicked the bucket from disease, giant beasts, tar pits, and the like, he found a cave to hide in. The cave is Grug’s answer to every problem.
