X-Men Origins - Wolverine

Eugene Novikov
Eminently disposable, but that's almost the point: Wolverine remembers the days when action flicks were action flicks, and we were content with visceral thrills and basic storytelling competence.

Avengers: Infinity War
AMFM Magazine
Paul Salfen
Even with the two hour and 40 minute running time, it still leaves you wanting more, which, of course, you'll have to wait a year for.

Creed II
AMFM Magazine
Paul Salfen
Overall, Michael B. Jordan knocks it out of the park (or the ring?) again, providing a strong emotional backbone to the movie.

Green Book

While many might see this as a nice feel-good predictable film, they also forget that this was a story that needed to be told and was told because of the great outcome.

Halloween

For the casual viewer or someone that just wants to have a little scary movie time for the season, it's fine but for the big Halloween/horror fans, it may not be enough.

It's creepy as anything you're apt to see in recent memory and will haunt you long after you see it.

It borrows from many stories but doesn't have enough of its own to offer.

Tron Legacy
AOL Black Voices
Wilson Morales
The film is visually dazzling, but the main problem is that the script was left of the drawing board. There are endless questions never answered even if one were to ask.

With Ice Cube producing, and his regular buddies (Mike Epps, Terry Crews and Charlie Murphy) along for the ride, 'Lottery Ticket' is the latest charming and humorous film from the 'hood.

Devil
AOL Black Voices

Overall, 'The Devil' is a roller coast ride of hits and misses, and unfortunately, with Shyamalan's fan appeal at basement level these days, the filmmakers' efforts will not be recognized.

Mooz-lum

The film is worth seeing simply because of the phenomenal acting by the ensemble and a plot that will generate debate and interest once audience members leave the theater.

Through its two leads, Kerry Washington and Anthony Mackie, "Night Catches Us' is a provocative and powerful drama that moves with solid acting from the ensemble cast.

No Strings Attached
AOL Black Voices
Wilson Morales
While Portman, along with Greta Gerwig keep the film lively, 'No Strings' ultimately suffers from unimaginative sequences, blandness and jokes that are not funny at all.
