Whites, camera, action

By Lexia Banks · Wednesday, Jan. 21,2015 8:28 p.m.

There are two days a year that every movie lover has marked on their calendar, possibly circled in red pen, maybe some arrows pointing at them and more than likely they have programmed some reminders into their phones for the weeks ahead: their mom’s birthday and the Academy Awards. The Oscars are like Christmas for cinephiles.

'Broad City' pushes buttons

By Griffin Leeds · Wednesday, Jan. 21,2015 8:21 p.m.

“Broad City” (S02E02) “Heat” Grade: A- The world feels a little bit funnier as the psychedelic bubble letters flood the screen.  That's right, “Broad City” is back.  The season two premiere of the Comedy Central femme-tastic comedy starring Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson and produced by Amy Poehler featured all that a fan could ask for: Seth Rogen, trip sequences, kittens and more reasons to hate homebody Matt Bevers, who is played by John Gemberling.  The show was pretty typical to the style seen in its previous and beloved debut season.

Mann fails to rebuild reputation in 'Blackhat'

By Dylan Corbeill · Wednesday, Jan. 21,2015 8:17 p.m.

"Blackhat" Grade: D+ Michael Mann is a director known for creating exceptionally intense, atmospheric, and emotionally-driven films of every caliber imaginable...well, once in a while anyway.  While he is responsible for bringing the 1995 epic crime drama “Heat” to the screen, which he is mostly known for as well, there have been other films of equal potential that fell flat on their faces (Miami Vice, Manhunter, Public Enemies).  Plagued with a bout of awkward sequences, mind-numbingly boring dialogue accompanied by stagnant acting, Mann seemed like he was trying too hard to regain his footing.

By Allison Wagner · Wednesday, Jan. 21,2015 8:14 p.m.

“The Wedding Ringer” Grade: C+ When emotionally and mentally invigorating movies are flooding the screen during Oscars season, there are always one or two to save us from taking ourselves too seriously.
