Film Review: More Action, Less Enjoyment in ‘Pacific Rim Uprising’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on March 23, 2018 - 12:26pmCHICAGO – The giant robot film genre is in trouble. It wasn’t enough that “Transformers” has ground it to dust, but now the “Pacific Rim” sequel is going the same direction. There is action-a-plenty in the followup to Guillermo Del Toro’s fun and light first film, that lightness is missing in “Pacific Rim Uprising.”

Film Review: ‘The Longest Ride’ is a Journey to Nowhere
Submitted by PatrickMcD on April 10, 2015 - 12:20pmCHICAGO – “The Longest Ride” is sentimental schlockmeister Nicholas Sparks’ latest attempt to remix “The Notebook.” It’s got an old man recounting lost love, handwritten letters, young lovers kissing in the rain, breakups, reunions, corny dialogue and of course those North Carolina backdrops. He’s playing all the same notes, but this time he’s lost the melody.
