'The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story' - Review: "The Conspiracy Theories" (Spoilers)

"10 Cloverfield Lane" - Review (Spoiler-Free)

"You Don't Know What's Out There!"


This is going to be a tricky review. This is one of J.J. Abrams' latest "mystery box" movies so in order to have the best experience, it is imperative that you know as little as possible. As that is the case, this review will be shorter than some of my other film pieces. In fact, I would recommend not reading this review until you have seen the movie just in case I give any kind of info away that might get you on the right track as far as the characters and plot go. So if you choose to stop here for now, know that 10 Cloverfield Lane is an excellent closed room thriller with a similar tone to Cloverfield, even if it has little to do with it other than its tone and title. Regardless of it not being a sequel, it is well worth your time and you may be surprised by the revelations and the intensity this great little movie contains. My few (hopefully) spoiler-free thoughts are after the jump, but stop here if you do not want to risk anything at all. It will be a better experience that way.

"Zootopia" - Review

If Only We Were Quite So Defined


It sounds like the animators at Disney have had enough. They have boldly put their foots down. The year's most challenging film may in fact be one that stars a cute talking bunny cop. Disney Animation Studio's latest film is Zootopia, which is a CG animated film in the new tradition of Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph. This may be their best CG film to date. This is a crime film about the beauty of cultural diversity, the dangers of racial and gender stereotyping, crime syndicates, political corruption, and drug trafficking. Yes, I am still talking about Zootopia. The best part of all of this is that it is still light and full of exciting set pieces and humor perfectly suited for families and their children. Zootopia is an absolute treat of animation brilliance that has more on its mind than the sweet friendship at its core. Listen up you politicians. You seem to not be able to get this right. Leave it to a Disney animated film to finally lay the cards out on the table as clearly as possible and then drop the mic.
