Movie Breakdown: Mortal Kombat
Pre-Screening Stance: I don’t know if I’d say I’m excited for a new Mortal Kombat movie – between the original 90s film and last year’s surprisingly good animated effort, I’m set on that front –...

Movie Breakdown: Together Together (Noah)
Pre-Screening Stance: I’m torn on this one. The trailer makes it seem like Ed Helms will continue to play the good-natured-but-pretty-annoying role he’s now permanently locked in for, but the movie looks subtle and sweet-natured....
Movie Breakdown: Stowaway
Pre-Screening Stance: Anna Kendrick, Toni Collette, Daniel Dae Kim, Shamier Anderson – that’s a really nice cast for this sci-fi thriller. Here’s hoping Stowaway is as good as it appears to be on paper. Post-Screening...

Movie Breakdown: Concrete Cowboy
Pre-Screening Stance: I have not read Greg Neri’s book, Ghetto Cowboy, that Concrete Cowboy is based on, but I have always liked Idris Elba and coming of age stories, so I’m eager to give the...
Movie Breakdown: WeWork: Or The Making And Breaking Of A $47 Billion Unicorn (Noah)
Pre-Screening Stance: I am always interested in a documentary about the rise and fall of an enormous, seemingly douche-y, corporation. From everything I’ve read in advance, this fits the bill. Post-Screening Ramble: If you’ve seen...
