Doug Reviews: A Most Wanted Man
A Most Wanted Man made me angry. Don’t get me wrong, Director Anton Corbijn’s adaptation of John le Carré’s novel of the same name is a fantastic film, but it’s also the final film Philip Seymour Hoffman completed before his death of a drug overdose last year. I’m angry that we won’t see him lead another film. Continue reading
Doug Reviews: Lucy
Well, my old nemesis Luc Besson is at it again. This time, he brings us Lucy, a film that is based on a scientific myth and makes little to no sense from that point forward. Continue reading
Doug Reviews: Sex Tape
See? Even the stars of the film don’t want you to see this turd.
Congratulations need to go out to Earth to Echo, as it is no longer the worst movie of the summer. That dubious honor has now shifted to Sex Tape. It’s not only the worst of the summer, it’s the worst of the year. Continue reading

Doug Reviews: The Purge: Anarchy
Last year’s The Purge was one of the worst films of 2013. Luckily, its sequel, The Purge: Anarchy, is much better, but still not that great. Continue reading
Doug Reviews: Snowpiercer
Finally, after nearly a year since it was released in South Korea, Joon-Ho Bong’s Snowpiercer has arrived in U.S. cinemas. The film has won major acclaim since its international release last year and in this case, the hype is real—Snowpiercer is one of the year’s best. Continue reading
Doug Reviews: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a surprise to many moviegoers. What looked to be a crass relaunch of a property that was long dead turned out to be one of the best films of 2011 and an exciting and inventive way to restart the franchise. The sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is not the same film. It’s better. Continue reading
