Is The Emoji Movie the Worst Animated Movie Ever?
When I first heard they were making a movie about emojis, my first thought was, Wow, that is the laziest idea I've ever heard. I guess some guys in Hollywood looked at his phone and said, I can make a movie about this. Yet at the same time, I thought it was a big joke, like seriously we've come to making movies about silly pictures you send your friends? But yes, people, there is a movie in which emojis are the stars and the center point. The trailers for this looked like a half-assed attempt to make a Wreck It Ralph spin-off or a clone.

Review: Detroit
Recently I listened to Malcolm Gladwell’s incredible podcast Revisionist History and in the very first episode he discussed a fascinating sociological concept called Moral Licensing. Moral Licensing is in essence doing something that is right and then using that right action, essentially a good deed, to justify bad behavior. Gladwell’s example was a painter in 19th Century England, Elizabeth Thompson, whose painting, titled Roll Call, became the first by a female artist to take a respected placement in the Royal Academy of Art. Unfortunately, the good deed by the male dominated Royal Academy of featuring the remarkable painting gave them, in their minds, the bona fides to justify not electing Thompson to become a member of the Royal Academy. They’d done their good deed and had nothing, in their minds left to prove.

Indie Film News: 'The Call of the Void'
Here is an exclusive first look at the set for upcoming British short indie film The Call of the Void. Set inside the walls of an eccentric low-end hostel, "Hostel Dice," The Call of the Void is an abstract commentary on the complexities of a modern life, which exists in tandem with a social media reality of our own design, and one man's journey towards answering the unanswerable. Indie film enthusiasts will undoubtedly be intrigued to finally get a glimpse through the peephole and into the vivid, claustrophobic and surreal world of The Call of the Void.

Movie Review: Stakeout Turns 30
Stakeout exists in a bizarre space in our popular memory. The action-comedy starring Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez opened the first weekend of August, 1987 at the top of the box office. The film went on to rank in the top 10 highest grossing films of the year and earned mostly positive reviews from critics. Then, it simply faded from memory. Sure, 6 years after the release of Stakeout they got around to making a bad sequel, shoulder shruggingly titled Another Stakeout, that did the original film no favors, but why did this successful movie mostly disappear from popular memory?

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Review
Now on to the review for Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. This movie came out in 2011. I don’t remember being too hyped for it, but the movie delivered. The acting is good. Shia Lebeouf returns but Megan Fox has been replaced (written out LOL). Dark of the Moon is a darker film than its two predecessors…much more so!

Movie Review: Kidnap
Halle Berry has been on an astonishing losing streak at the box office since she won the Academy Award for her starring role in Monster’s Ball. Ever since the night she won people’s hearts with her teary and historic Oscar acceptance speech, Berry has made one wrong turn after another whether making bad big budget comic book movies, all X-Men sequels or spinoffs, or bad low budget thrillers, Perfect Stranger, Gothika, The Call, or head-scratching, defiantly awful fare such as Movie 43, Cloud Atlas and Catwoman, Berry seemed bent on full career sabotage.
