The night is dangerous and anything can happen. Good Time is the kind of meandering crime film I've been wanting for a long time now. It is wholly unique both in regards to the execution of the material as well as the unending, underworld maze of obstacles that are created by and befall the protagonist played perfectly by Robert Pattinson.
The filmmakers, the Safdie Brothers, are addicted to close-ups as they make up what feels like the true majority of…

Here it is ladies and gentlemen. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is perhaps the most divisive movie I've ever seen/been a part of. Both critics and fans are contending why this was an achievement or an utter failure. I have to say though that I enjoyed this. I'm not checking this one as "Contains Spoilers" simply on the grounds that most of this was made known in the trailers or was ruined by critic click bait headlines. Don't worry…
