‘The Maze Runner’ review: Intriguing mystery and solid characters make this a must-watch
I went into the movie with little idea of what to expect, except a generically good time -- and came out extremely impressed.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ review: The biggest surprise of the year
Marvel's space opera about a ragtag group of aliens plus one human is the massive surprise hit of the summer, and even gone on to be the highest-grossing movie of the year in the U.S., beating stalwart franchises like Transformers, X-Men and Spider-Man.

Robin Williams (1951-2014): An institution of my childhood is gone
At every stage of your life, there will be movies that you watched, music that you listened to, and books that you read that you associate most with that period of your life -- and along with them, the celebrities and artistes who figured in those influential works that shaped your tastes and thinking. Robin Williams was one of those who belonged to my childhood.

For now, it's safe to say I have never seen a louder, more epilepsy-inducing, incoherent film in my life.

‘Edge of Tomorrow’ review (with bonus ‘Chef’ and ‘Maleficent’ reviews): LOVE ‘Edge of Tomorrow’. Liked ‘Chef’. ‘Maleficent’ is ok.
Here's another massively overdue review bonanza. Unfortunately, I'm always watching things much faster than I write about them, so sometimes it's stale news by the time I post them.
