American Sniper Review

Though the film is far from perfect, Eastwood is able to balance intensity and emotionality throughout American Sniper thanks to a deeply unflinching turn by Bradley Cooper.

[REC] 4: Apocalypse Review

Apocalypse is the weakest [REC] entry to date, but it's still a bloody enough finale to end the famed "zombie" franchise on.

A Most Violent Year Review

J.C. Chandor's latest period piece strays favorably from the path of typical gangster films, giving both Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain ample room to flex their professional dominance.

Nazis, Cheap Thrills, And Big Bad Wolves: The 13 Best Horror Movies Of 2014

While reflecting on an entire year's worth of horror movies may sound like a tremendous chore, there's no better feeling than reliving some of your favorite cinematic moments after the dust has settled and no more films remain unreleased. Sure, sifting through the worst of the worst may be not be an enviable task - which I did for my Worst Horror Movies Of 2014 feature already - but my "Best Of" work is where the movie Gods show their mercy. This is my exploration of the best horror had to offer this year, and my chance to tip my hat towards those horror films that remind me why a genre full of murder, mayhem, and spooky horrors provides the highest highs Hollywood can provide.

Unbroken Review

Unbroken is safely bland and unfortunately emotionless, feeling more like a reenactment than a proper cinematic retelling of Louis Zamperini's tremendous legacy.

The Equalizer Blu-Ray Review

The Equalizer is everything we've come to expect from a Denzel Washington thriller and nothing more, which isn't a bad thing in the least.

The Gambler Review

Mark Wahlberg puts forth one of his better efforts in The Gambler, a character study that's more "Hollywood" than "deeply reflective."

Loitering With Intent Review

While these characters might be loitering with intent, they're doing so without conviction, consequence or exuberance.

Holy Sh…ark! The 13 Worst Horror Movies Of 2014

Every year I joke about how quickly time passes, as I can still vividly remember exclaiming how Dracula 3D would undoubtedly be the worst horror film I'd see in ages, but here we are at the end of 2014, agonizing over what could be one of the worst year-end recaps I've had to write since joining We Got This Covered. There were some very good horror movies released this year, but where I only awarded a single 1-star review last year, 2014 saw three in the horror genre alone. Seriously. Dracula 3D was last year's stinkiest turd sandwich, but this year offered three different efforts that left me begging for salvation.

The Pyramid Review

The Pyramid should be avoided like the plague, as it easily makes a last-minute case for "Worst Horror Film Of 2014" notoriety.
