We'll let you know if this one is going to be worth your time.
We'll also run through some of the latest industry news, and let you know about what else is headed your way.

We're reviewing The Huntsman: Winter's War and The Jungle Book this week. The prelude to some of the biggest titles of the summer, the week doesn't quite have the punch we're going to see in May, but nevertheless some surprising films when it comes to box office. We'll let you know if you need to get to these.
Plus, we'll discuss industry news, upcoming films, and more.

We're taking a look at Kevin Costner's latest, Criminal, which involves transferring a CIA operatives memories into a lifelong criminal's brain in order to prevent a madman from destroying the world. Is this one worth your time, or is it as goofy as it sounds?
We'll also give you the rundown on some industry news, and let you know what's coming your way in theaters. Also, we'll give you a quick review of the new Emma Watson feature, Colonia.

We're taking a look at Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and we'll let you know if the general critical response should mean anything to you. Already widely panned by many, the film's box office take hasn't been thrown off course yet.
Luckily, it's a movie that you have to see, even if you are convinced it's going to be bad, which means there's bound to be another. But, is it worth it?
We'll also let you in on some of the latest industry news, go through some of the upcoming hits to keep on your radar, and more.

We're reviewing the latest in the Divergent series of films, Allegiant, and we're following up our best and worst lists with our own awards, The Can't Win Awards.
We'll let you know if another trip with Shailene Woodley is worth your time, and we'll be showing off our own awards season flair with our Can't Win Awards. We pick the top 5 awards (Film, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay) for movies/actors that gave us something great to watch, but aren't really in the running for nominations for any other awards.

We're reviewing the bizarre not-exactly-sequel, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and we're revealing our Worst Films of 2015 lists.
Cloverfield is getting some interesting reactions, and John Goodman alone is getting a lot of attention, but does this one actually manage to be worth your time? If you saw the original Cloverfield, you might not be sure which way to go.
We'll also bring you some of the latest industry news, and give a preview of what's coming up.

We're going to give you our Best Movies of the Year lists, and run through all the movies you have to make sure don't slip by you. We'll take you through the films we loved most, a lot of honorable mentions, and let you in on why our lists aren't likely to look like everyone else's.
Along the way we'll make sure you know which of these films are going to make it on your own list as well, and we'll probably be forced to talk about the Oscars.

We're reviewing Deadpool this week, and hopefully catching up on a few other titles as we make our way to our best and worst lists.
Ryan Reynolds' anti-comic has been breaking records, and we'll let you know if it's worth the time and all the hype. We'll also take a look at everything that happened last year, just how locked up the Oscars are at this point, and give you some more hints at our best and worst lists. And, don't forget that our own awards are coming up, and unless someone comes up with a better name, they're still the "Can't Win" awards.

It's the final stop before our Best and Worst lists, including Critics' Choice Awards coverage, plus we're covering The 5th Wave.
We're still trying to finalize our lists, and now that the Critics' Choice Awards are over all eyes are on The Oscars. That means we have some movies to try to get to, like Carol, The Big Short, and several others, but we've also got to get to The 5th Wave, especially because - whether ultimately good or not - it surprised us.

We'll be reviewing Joy and Carol, along with a few others as we finish up 2015's coverage. We'll also be giving our thoughts on the Golden Globes, tonight's Critics' Choice Awards, and much more.
With the Globes already done, and the Critics' Choice about to hit, we're right in the heart of award season, and we'll let you know what should have won, what should win, and what it all means for the Oscars.
We're also going to get through as many of the nominated films we haven't had a chance to cover yet, and possibly a few of the hidden gems of the year
