My Review of 'The Belko Experiment'
The Belko Experiment comes to us from the director of Wolf Creek and The Darkness and is written by James Gunn of Guardians of the Galaxy fame. This film is about 80 employees and a small office building; suddenly large metal doors around the building and a voice comes over the intercom saying if you guys don't kill a certain amount of people then we're going to kill double that amount. Have fun! And, from that moment on we have The Purge meets Battle Royale meets The Hunger Games meets Office Space, I guess. Jhansi McKinley's even in it. All we need is Milton to kill somebody with his stapler.

Locke Review
Title: LockeMPAA Rating: RDirector: Steven KnightStarring: Tom HardyRuntime: 1 hr 25 mins What It Is: Ivan Locke is just 9 hours away from not only the biggest job of his life, but one unexpected call throws everything into a looping mess. As we see the events of his life unfold, we see Locke creeping ever towards something different than the man we originally meet at the film's beginning. This is a very interesting film in that we only ever see one actor on screen the entire film. All his dialogue throughout is performed through Locke’s Bluetooth, which is connected to his car's stereo. As this night unfolds were unsure if Locke is holding onto his sanity, and I have just been on the edge of mania.

What Just Happened Amuses Without the Typical Hollywood Movie Excess
The front cover of the DVD case for What Just Happened declares, “laugh out loud funny.” Sorry, the 2009 Barry Levinson film starring Robert De Niro as a big wheel Hollywood movie producer does not live up and appears to have no inclination to even try. But don’t move on, that’s because the Art Linson penned comedy refuses to settle and lets the punchlines play out as if the double-take doesn’t just apply to the titular character’s downfall.

The Mummy (2017) Review
Universal are getting into the shared movie universe game with its Dark Universe brand. Because of course, it is. In all fairness, the concept of making modern updates to the classic line-up of Universal monsters is an interesting one. Too bad their first and now-aborted attempt – Dracula Untold – was a sign that good things weren’t exactly to come.
