Can Tom Hanks and Ron Howard resurrect Robert Langdon in Inferno ? Review by Matt Cummings For a film series that inexplicably took seven years off, Dan Brown's controversial The da Vinci Code franchise - if it could be labeled that - it's assumed that the newest entry Inferno would come at us full of codes, history, and deep conspiracies. Unfortunately, we get a muddled mess that diminishes the main character's cryptographic genius and reminds us of a world that seems eerily similar to Brown's. Harvard professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) awakens in an Italian hospital with amnesia and deep cut on his head, prone to fits of horrifying visions about an oncoming apocalypse filled with historical themes and deadly characters. But before he gain his senses, he's instantly the target of a shadowy organization, forcing Doctor Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) to assist with his escape. Langdon soon realizes that his possession of an ancient painting is a

Hell or High Water is a welcome respite from the drudgery of this summer's movie season. Review by Matt Cummings Early Westerns - and even more recent ones - depict the bad guy as a black-hat wearing psychopath bent on destroying a town or wresting its people into submission. But with a film like the instantly classic Hell or High Water , that villain isn't a person at all, replaced in an interesting turn that makes this one of the best films of the year so far and the first must-see experience in many months. For brothers Toby (Chris Pine) and Tanner Howard (Ben Foster), the 2008 economic collapse has made farming and even basic survival in West Texas a near-impossibility. Faced with massive bills after their mother's death, Toby learns that the local bank has sunk his family into debt and seized the property, in hopes of drilling oil to amass a huge fortune. But Toby has a plan as well, and both he and Tanner set off an elaborate scheme to rob specific

Warcraft takes on too much and delivers too little on its way to clouding the future of the video game movie genre. Review by Matt Cummings One might look at the 2016 Summer movie slate and equate it to a bag of feces set afire at your front door. In reality, such childish pranks might be all that's left when the season is done, underlying a growing concern in which the real stakes faced by Hollywood feel higher than normal. Recent releases have been reeling from an assault of soft openings, poor critic reviews, and a general sense that sequelitis is producing films that audiences don't want. Warcraft does little to stem that feeling of dread, cramming in too much story and setting forth some of the worst casting in recent memory. The result both muddies the future of the genre and the chances for this franchise to carry on. Warcraft is told from two perspectives - the orcs and humans - as each prepares to fight the other, while coming to question their roles

Watch the trailer after the Jump... Frears has Chris O’Dowd playing Walsh, with Ben Foster as Armstrong.

It’s already garnered some great reviews and promises to be something special, even if Armstrong probably wishes everyone would just leave it alone.
