MOVIE REVIEW: Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers

That aged appreciation and fanboy zest comes through in this movie as well as their brazen spirit. Rather than play out an easy reunion with some massive globe-trotting caper, screenwriters Dan Gregor and Doug Mand stick to Hollywood and the wedge of dichotomy that split our two title characters and kept them from talking to each other for three decades. Every nostalgic note or easy joke is cleverly wrapped with a candy-coated shell of self-awareness and a lingering implication of something bigger afoot that may not be as sweet as the outside.

MOVIE REVIEW: Senior Year

Through all of these little shocks to the system, nostalgia trips, and learning leaps is Rebel Wilson’s bull in a China shop. Much like Ryan Reynolds, Rebel Wilson is at her best playing Rebel Wilson. She has his commitment-to-the bit where her saucy signature personality and quick wit always follow her physical comedic bravery. She tells it like it is and we love it. Like her character, Rebel herself is more beautiful, smart, and funny that we give her full credit for.

MOVIE REVIEW: Foxhole

By observantly depicting three wars from three different centuries using the same troupe of actors, Foxhole filmmaker Jack Fessenden holds a multi-faceted mirror up to the humanity and mortality of war. His sophomore feature film questions if the causes have or have not changed when it comes to those two pillars. The way he measures that is within the soldiers themselves when placed in their most confined circumstances.
