We're going to see how the superheroes continue to shake out this year with a review of X-Men: Apocalypse. It's the year's first superhero film that doesn't focus on people being pissed about collateral damage, and it's a big swing for the X-Men franchise. There's a lot going on, a lot of characters to cover, and even a quick glance at Wolverine. But, is it worth it?
We'll let you know if you need to get to theaters for this one, or if you should spend your money elsewhere.
We'll also let you in on industry news, tell you what's the best option in theaters right now, and otherwise babble about the world of film.
This week (fingers crossed) we're also kicking off our Periscope effort for the show, so you have more ways to catch us.

Shane Black takes a chance on updating a genre with The Nice Guys, and managed to get Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling on board, but is it a film that works well enough that we might actually expand similar offerings soon?
We'll let you know if this one is worth your time, and if you need to catch it in theaters during the superhero bookended release schedule.
We'll also let you in on upcoming releases, news, and much more.

We're reviewing Keanu this week as the pre-summer release schedule turns a little cold in the wake of Captain America. We'll also give you a "sort of" review of Money Monster, and give you a preview of what's coming up.

It's finally here, and we're reviewing Captain America: Civil War. Few movies have been more anticipated recently, and there has been a lot of speculation about the introduction of new characters, and just how well the "Avengers"/Captain America effort would come together. 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'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.
