  • The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015 Movie)

    The Man from UNCLE (2015) Director: Guy Ritchie By Derek Lang Finally got to see this movie and while I liked it I thought there was something missing or perhaps they didn’t exploit the two characters enough. In that there could have been more banter or interaction. The stuff on the screen when it happened…

  • Furious 7 Movie Premiere

    By Derek Lang Furious 7 (2015) Director: James Wan While I was impressed that the story made sense, there were no glaring plot holes, and considering Paul Walker passed away during the filming of it that seems like a large feat to accomplish.

    By Derek Lang Kingsman: the Secret Service (2015) Director: Matthew Vaughn This was a fun movie that seems to not know who their target audience is… adults or teens.

  • Bad Grandpa Movie Premiere

  • The Hobbit:The Battle of the Five Armies Official Trailer Movie Premiere

    By Derek Lang The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) Director: Peter Jackson The theatre we watched this in seemed to be using a really poor projection bulb, the movie seemed overly dark.
