Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Directed by: Zack Snyder Starring: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, and Gal Gadot Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality "This legendary matchup between the world's two biggest superheroes fails to deliver on its title bout and is a sloppy, ham-fisted, mess of a movie with a weak script, poor dialogue, and a serious lack of entertainment."

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Directed by: Terry Gilliam Starring: Johnny Depp, Benicio Del Toro, Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci, and Gary Busey Rated R for pervasive extreme drug use and related bizarre behavior, strong language, and brief nudity "While I can respect the artistic representation and acting performances of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, this unabashed, immoral, artsy acid trip of a movie is most certainly not for everyone — myself included."

Hail, Caesar!
Directed by: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen Starring: Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, and Ralph Fiennes Rated PG-13 for some suggestive content and smoking "Even with the skill of the Coen Brothers, impressive production values and so many A-list names attached, Hail, Caesar! is a long, boring, and often arduous affair with comedy that is only mildly amusing at best."

Focus
Directed by: Glenn Ficarra and John Requa Starring: Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Gerald McRaney, Adrian Martinez, and BD Wong Rated R for language, some sexual content and brief violence "The problem with Focus is that it treats its audience like we're all as dumb as nails. While the film itself is entertaining, its cons are unconvincing, and it's not nearly as smart as it thinks it is." Read the full review! |

Whiplash
Directed by: Damien Chazelle Starring: Miles Teller, J.K. Simmons, Paul Reiser, and Melissa Benoist Rated R for strong language including some sexual references "Whiplash makes for a painfully tense and terrifying learning experience that is nothing short of cinematic brilliance.

Tomorrowland
Directed by: Brad Bird Starring: George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy, and Hugh Laurie Rated PG for sequences of sci-fi action violence and peril, thematic elements, and language "With Tomorrowland's lifeless fantasy world, bland characters, second-rate special effects, forced dialogue, and uninspired story, your future will undoubtedly be better off if it doesn't involve watching this movie."

Mad Max: Fury Road
Directed by: George Miller Starring: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicolas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne Rated R for intense sequences of violence throughout, and for disturbing images "Mad Max: Fury Road is an intense, action-packed, visually stunning, and wildly entertaining film. It's only when the action slows down that the film starts to show signs of decay." Read the full review! |

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Directed by: Anthony Russo and Joe Russo Starring: Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Redford, and Anthony Mackie Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, gunplay and action throughout "Despite how great certain aspects of The Winter Soldier may be, it’s often reduced to being too ridiculous to be taken seriously, or to truly stand out from the crowded pack of conventional superhero movies. " Read the full review! |

22 Jump Street
Directed by: Christopher Miller and Phil Lord Starring: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Peter Stormare, and Wyatt Russell Rated R for language throughout, sexual content, drug material, brief nudity and some violence "22 Jump Street may be a familiar foray, but this summer bromance still manages to be loads of fun and is without a doubt one of the funniest movies of the year."

Transformers: Age of Extinction
Directed by: Michael Bay Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Kelsey Grammer, and Stanley Tucci Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language and brief innuendo "Transformers: Age of Extinction is a fun summer movie that sticks to Michael Bay's usual mode of operation, but it's jam-packed and overly ambitious, stretching the run time far longer than it ever should."

A Walk Among the Tombstones
Directed by: Scott Frank Starring: Liam Neeson, Dan Stevens, Brian "Astro" Bradley, Boyd Holbrook, and Eric Nelsen Rated R for strong violence, disturbing images, language and brief nudity "A Walk Among the Tombstones is unsettling but never really all that compelling. It's a decent detective movie, but your enjoyment of it may depend on how well you can handle its grimy setting and extreme violence." Read the full review! |

If I Stay
Directed by: R.J. Cutler Starring: Chloe Grace Moretz, Mireille Enos, Jamie Blackley, and Liana Liberato Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and some sexual material "Had I not seen this film with a friend, it would have been the first movie I’ve ever walked out of. I haven’t hated a movie this much all year. If I Stay disappoints and offends on nearly every conceivable level." Read the full review! |

The Fault in Our Stars
Directed by: Josh Boone Starring: Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Laura Dern, Willem Dafoe, and Nat Wolfe Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language "On the surface, it's easy to dismiss The Fault in Our Stars as being a sappy teenage love affair, but I I can fortunately say that there is little doubt that it is one of the great love stories of our time."

Edge of Tomorrow
Directed by: Doug Liman Starring: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, and Brendan Gleeson Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language and brief suggestive material "Edge of Tomorrow is one of the best action movies of Tom Cruise’s illustrious career and might just be the most fun you'll have at the movies all year!

Blended
Directed by: Frank Coraci Starring: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Terry Crews, Bella Thorne, and Kevin Nealon Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, and language "Blended requires some patience to get through its torturous start but it makes a respectable comeback as Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore prove that they’re still a delightful comedic duo."

A Million Ways to Die in the West
Directed by: Seth MacFarlane Starring: Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Giovanni Ribisi, and Neil Patrick Harris Rated R for strong crude and sexual content, language throughout, some violence and drug material "A Million Ways to Die in the West is good for a few laughs but it feels like it goes on unreasonably long. Still, if you're a fan of MacFarlane's other works, you'll most likely enjoy his parody of the Old West." Read the full review! |

Godzilla (2014)
Directed by: Gareth Edwards Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, and Elizabeth Olsen Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem and creature violence "Unfortunately, as promising as this new Godzilla movie may appear to be, it falls far short of expectations, and dare I say, it isn’t even much better than the 1998 Godzilla."
